Lawrence Stewart f772f9fe43 Rename the cc.4 and cc.9 modular congestion control related man pages to
mod_cc.4 and mod_cc.9 respectively to avoid any possible confusion with the cc.1
gcc man page. Update references to these man pages where required.

congestion control algorithm first appeared in its modular form in
.Fx 9.0 .
.Pp
The module was first released in 2007 by James Healy and Lawrence Stewart whilst
working on the NewTCP research project at Swinburne University of Technology's
Centre for Advanced Internet Architectures, Melbourne, Australia, which was made
possible in part by a grant from the Cisco University Research Program Fund at
Community Foundation Silicon Valley.
