d97e531329 Reorganization of FreeBSD README document. This change adds no new
content or whitespace changes; it just moves sections around for
better organization; the content of this file used to be fairly
fragmented because it originally was derived from parts of several other
documents.

The first half of "About FreeBSD" has been pulled into the Introduction
section.  The remainder of "About FreeBSD" plus the "Release Documentation"
section now make up a new <sect1></sect1> level section entitled
"Further Reading".

1d0372b2af Collapse the seven *.sgml files containing the content of the README
document into article.sgml.  Move the $FreeBSD$ tag from a
comment to a <pubdate></pubdate> entry, but no other content
or whitespace changes.

The two reasons for doing this are to:  1) Get rid of a bunch of
itty-bitty files and 2) help with a reorganization of the README that
will be much simpler if all the content is in a single file.

  Fix the install kernel on a 1.44MB floppy again.
  I had to be aggressively Draconian to succeed.

  + Multia, NoName, PC/EB 64, Aspen Alpine support.
  + SCSI tape support
  + AMI MegaRAID controller support
  + All parallel bus support (includes PLIP)
  + vx (3c590, 3c595), pcn (AMD Am79C97x PCI 10/100), sf (Adaptec AIC-6915),
    sis (SiS 900/SiS 7016), ste (Sundance ST201 (D-Link DFE-550TX)),

3ec96e7a64 When talking about new versions, use the word "updated" instead of
"upgraded" for consistency.  Prior to this commit, 9 of the entires
used the latter, and 51 used the former.

f20f450605 Note MFC of tcpdump 3.6.3.
I didn't do this when I merged the delta to RELENG_4 because I thought
&merged; didn't apply to contributed software since there is one entry
per application which gets updated with the new version number, as
opposed to all the other programs, which get one entry per update.
However, the previous commit removed &merged; from the IPFilter entry,
so perhaps I just didn't look long enough when I did the tcpdump
merge.
