25f718f0b7 Fix misspellings in the freebsd-tips fortunes. The same PR has
a patch to mention portupgrade in freebsd-tips as well; I'm not
sure if that belongs here, so I'll leave it for someone else.

16f4e196f2 In the build process, fortune files have been randomized since at
least the 4.4-lite days.  This is pointless, since fortune(6) performs
its own randomization.  It was also problematic for binary update
systems such as ports/security/freebsd-update.  This commit simply
removes the -r option to strfile so that the datfiles are constant.

The attribution appears to be correct according to

attributed it to Carl Sagan.
