Add a fortune describing how to upload a machine's dmesg information to the

Browse Source 
NYCBUG database.

We want to encourage our users to upload their dmesgs so that the project can
get a better insight into what kind of hardware is run on. This helps in making
data-driven decisions about i.e., platform and driver support.

Note that dmesgs may contain sensitive information like hardware serial numbers,
hence uploading them without review is discouraged.

You can upload the dmesg of your system to help developers get an overview of commonly used hardware and peripherals for FreeBSD.
Use the curl package to upload it in one command:
curl -v -d "nickname=$USER" -d "description=FreeBSD/$(uname -m) on \
$(kenv smbios.system.maker) $(kenv smbios.system.product)" -d "do=addd" \
--data-urlencode 'dmesg@/var/run/dmesg.boot' http://dmesgd.nycbug.org/index.cgi
