3626f83327 Update the default newfs block and fragment sizes from 8192/1024 to 
16384/2048.

Following recent discussions on the -arch mailing list, involving dillon
and mckusick, this change parallels the one made over a decade ago when
the default was bumped up from 4096/512.

This should provide significant performance improvements for most
folks, less significant performance losses for a few folks and
wasted space lost to large fragments for many folks.

For discussion, please see the following thread in the -arch archive:

Subject: Using a larger block size on large filesystems

schemes is raised.

d33a962d07 Move /etc/defaults/make.conf to /usr/share/examples/etc/make.conf as

sys.mk will .error if it finds /etc/defaults/make.conf but include

/usr/share/examples/etc/make.conf has BDEFLAGS commented out now,
since it's only an example file.
