assumption that only getty processes can be managed. Describe the
SysV-like ability to keep arbitrary long-running processes alive
using a non-device first field in /etc/ttys.

rundown script 'reboot' or 'single'. ISO support (which never
worked) has been removed from mount_nfs. mount_nfs and umount
now use mounttab, which allows umntall to work properly. The
rc scripts now call umntall as appropriate.

init(8) cannot decrease securelevel. The manual page explains this
and single_user() doesn't try to downgrade kernel to insecure mode.

(a) Note that the default securelevel value is -1, in -current and -stable.
(b) Mention kernel sysctl variable that controls securelevel.
(c) Add warning the `fsck' will fail if securelevel >= 2.
(d) Suggest end of /etc/rc as the right place to raise securelevel.

to the session list. If the device comes back as unconfigured, just
ignore that line in /etc/ttys. If someone HUP's init, we'll try again.
This change stops getty's from hanging on vty and sio ports that don't
exist, either due to LKM drivers not being loaded, or probes failing.

/etc/rc started with "daemon" settings.
"window=" started with "default" settings
gettys started with "default" settings.
This should open the way to junk kernel options MAX_{OPEN,CHILD}
and the corresponding sysctl vars.
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
man pages up to mdoc guidelines and fix some minor formatting glitches.
Also fixed a number of man pages to not abuse the .Xr macro to
display functions and path names and a lot of other junk.

I got a lot of
"getty repeating too quickly on port %s, sleeping"
from init.bsdi, it means that getty start and exit in five seconds.
This is common situation for poor quality Russian phone lines:
modem got CONNECT message and after retries got NO CARRIER.
So I introduce spacing count, it means that this warning and
sleep occurse only after GETTY_NSPACE times of sequental attempts.

I found (and fix) ugly bugs in init.bsdi (this bugs not present
in old init)
1) Init don't setup TERM environment variable for default terminal
type from /etc/ttys before calling getty/window.
2) When "kill -1 1" issued, init don't restart getty when
/etc/ttys parameters was changed (it only kill "off" end empty entries).
3) Small memory leak if "window" /etc/ttys parameter specified and
"kill -1 1" issued.
