New release note: kbdmap(1)/vidfont(1) C rewrite.

Changed release notes:  KSE (rewrite and status update), Binutils
2.12.1 (20020622 snapshot).

MFCs noted:  libpcap-0.7.1, tcpdump-3.7.1, OpenSSH through 3.4p1.

Also retroactively note some OpenSSH items as MFC-ed and historic.
I'm not sure when these were merged, but I'm pretty sure it was a long
time ago.

<para>The &os; kernel scheduler now supports Kernel-Scheduled
Entities (KSEs), which provides support for multiple threads of
execution per process similar to Schedular Activations. At this
point, the kernel has most of the changes needed to support
threading. The kernel scheduler can schedule multiple threads per
process, but only on a single CPU at a time. Support for
userland programs to create and utilize multiple threads is not
yet completed.
