83d04c760a Change documentation for `make package' (Thanks (indirectly) O'Brien!).
Document `make readmes'.  This is getting old, and the intent is to
stop questions regarding it; however, I have a suspicion documenting it
will work counter to ending questions about it and am mentally prepared
to see it go-ooooooooo.......

8889d6ac3a Document the .Rv (return values) macro.
".Rv -std atexit" will generate the following text:

The atexit() function returns the value 0 if successful; otherwise the
value -1 is returned and the global variable errno is set to indicate the
error.

c41c97fab9 Document the previously undocumented .Bf (begin font mode) macro.
Moved the descriptions of the .Em, .Li and .Sy macros into
the new "Font Modes" sub-section along with .Bf, since they are
all related.

1130b656e5 Make the long-awaited change from $Id$ to $FreeBSD$
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.

edf0e5b3f8 Correct some man page xrefs, and some other minor changes to bring some

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.

others don't do anything different from the general rules.
