spacers between $FreeBSD$ and the following content in config files

This fixes the build and I will redo these changes as part of a future review
that organizes them differently. The way I tried to do it here could be done
better. Sorry for the noise.

This simplifies pkgbase by migrating these to CONFS so they are properly
tagged as config files.

the terminal work properly out of the box when logging over a serial
line, which is quite important for the user experience on boards like
Raspberry Pi. It doesn't affect cases where the terminal size is
already non-zero, such as SSH or vt(4) sessions.
Note that this doesn't handle a scenario pointed out by rgrimes@:
when the terminal is resized after login, the terminal size won't
get updated even after logging out and back in.

update paths; and include everything in the "base" distribution.
The "games" distribution being optional made sense when there were more
games and we had small disks; but the "games-like" games were moved into
the ports tree a dozen years ago and the remaining "utility-like" games
occupy less than 0.001% of my laptop's small hard drive. Meanwhile every
new user is confronted by the question "do you want games installed" when
they they try to install FreeBSD.
The next steps will be:
2. Removing punch card (bcd, ppt), phase-of-moon (pom), clock (grdc), and
caesar cipher (caesar, rot13) utilities. I intend to keep fortune, factor,
morse, number, primes, and random, since there is evidence that those are
still being used.
3. Merging src/games into src/usr.bin.
This change will not be MFCed.

Since I've committed this I've receieved roughly an equal
amount of email thanking me for making this change
and asking me to revert it.
I've resisted making this change because
new users tend to prefer less over more
and these users are the least likely to know
how to change the PAGER on their own.

- make the default prompt a bit more like scp
- make the user show as root even when using 'su' instead of 'su -'
- the key bindings didn't hurt anything but likely hide a bug
- merge history instead of overwriting it

Right now syscons(4) uses a cons25-style terminal emulator. The
disadvantages of that are:
- Little compatibility with embedded devices with serial interfaces.
- Bad bandwidth efficiency, mainly because of the lack of scrolling
regions.
- A very hard transition path to support for modern character sets like
UTF-8.
Our terminal emulation library, libteken, has been supporting
xterm-style terminal emulation for months, so flip the switch and make
everyone use an xterm-style console driver.
I still have to enable this on i386. Right now pc98 and i386 share the
same /etc/ttys file. I'm not going to switch pc98, because it uses its
own Kanji-capable cons25 emulator.
IMPORTANT: What to do if things go wrong (i.e. graphical artifacts):
- Run the application inside script(1), try to reduce the problem and
send me the log file.
- In the mean time, you can run `vidcontrol -T cons25' and `export
TERM=cons25' so you can run applications the same way you did before.
You can also build your kernel with `options TEKEN_CONS25' to make all
virtual terminals use the cons25 emulator by default.

o Comment out display of fortune by default.
o Synch root's .cshrc/.login and non-root's .cshrc/.login in terms of
gratuitous variables set (EDITOR).
o Remove some commented out variables set inconsistently or gratuitously,
such as Interviews settings, 8-bit German locale for root only.
o Synchronize comments in header, as well as references to appropriate man
pages.
o Remove MANPATH setting as apparently /etc/manpath.config does all that
already.
Similar changes probably need to be made in other dot.* files for root
and skel, as all of these files seem to set different aliases, environmental
variables, prompts, and have different semantics.
As a result of this patch, leaving aside the setting of a special prompt
for root, users of csh and tcsh should find similar environments when
logging in or su'ing to any account using that shell.

even simple things like md5 and ping aren't in your path. This patch
moves the custom root-path setting from .login to .cshrc, so that users
who su to root get a decent (and consistent) path. An appeal to change
/etc/login.conf to provide a decent path for all users seems to have been
vetoed for the time being. As a result, users will still, by default,
not find ping or md5 in their path. However, at least root gets a decent
default now.

thing to use it at startup, when you don't know if the user can
handle vi or not, but yet another thing to leave it as a permanent
land mine for root.
2. Put /usr/X11R6/bin in path; it makes getting the desktop up a lot easier.
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.
