- Add an example of using etcupdate diff.
- Create a subsection on bootstrapping that is below the simple
examples. This should make it clearer that 'etcupdate extract' is
a one-time operation and not part of the common workflow. It also
adds more suggestions on when bootstrapping is needed and additional
steps to make future merges simpler.

passed to mergemaster. In this mode, only changes to /etc/master.passwd
and /etc/group are merged to /etc. In addition, it uses a temporary
tree to stage these changes rather than overwriting the existing
'current' and 'previous' trees so that a full update can be run after
a normal installworld has completed.

not updated as part of `make installworld' such as files in /etc. It
manages updates by doing a three-way merge of changes made to these files
against the local versions. It is also designed to minimize the amount
of user intervention with the goal of simplifying upgrades for clusters
of machines.
The primary difference from mergemaster is that etcupdate requires less
manual work. The primary difference from etcmerge is that etcupdate
updates files in-place similar to mergemaster rather than building a
separate /etc tree.
