de26e0ad7a Add a makefile to document the release building process. 
Specifically, this documents the available targets and relevant
environment variables for "make release".  LOCAL_PATCHES,
RELEASEDISTFILES, RELEASENOUPDATE, etc.. are covered.

A future commit should add more information about drivers.conf,
boot_crunch.conf, and other less well-known aspects of the release
build.

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

The discussion ceases to be relevant when the issue of partitioning
schemes is raised.

default now.  Discuss why that's good.  Note that there are still
  some situations where turning it off may be advantageous, including
  situations where there are network outages and it's desirable to
  have TCP sessions last beyond the outage.

9aa92d5586 Moderate the recommendation that TCP keepalives always be turned on;
