4e702f5b14 Auto generate the device listings in the Hardware Notes based on
manual pages, to avoid duplicating work between the Hardware Notes and
manual pages.

Each text line in the output from the manual page parser is generated
as a SGML entity, making it possible for translators to only translate
lines which actually contains English text (this neat idea came from
hrs).

To determine which drivers are usable on which architectures the
dev.archlist.txt file is used to explicitly list this.  It it an
imperfect solution, but the best I have been able to come up with for
now.

This commit converts most of the devices which has a section 4 manual
page with a HARDWARE section to be the new auto generated format.

f0e53e36ca I'm lost in a maze of twisty little tunables, all different.
The ACPI-disabling hint goes into device.hints, not loader.conf.

386710e347 "i386" is probably a better long name for the i386 platform, as
opposed to IA-32.

1eb55ff65d RELNOTESng infrastructure fixes:
1.  There is now only one RELNOTESng stylesheet; the architecture-specific
stylesheets (to handle different values of the arch= attribute) are gone.

2.  Several Makefile variable definitions were factored into
doc.relnotes.mk.

703471ec7f Build system:
o Define a RELN_ROOT variable which points to the root of the relnotes
  tree (i.e., src/release/doc).
o By default, define DOC_PREFIX in terms of RELN_ROOT; this gives a
  bigger chance of finding the doc/ tree without help in the form of
  setting DOC_PREFIX on the command line.
o Respect DOCDIR; `make install` works now.
