truncate(1) is not case-sensitive with regard to setting the size
of a file. makefs(8), however, does not honor upper-case values.
Update release-specific files and the release(7) manual page to
reflect this.

We now live in the world of git, and release(7) should reflect that.
As of the commit referenced below, release images also no longer
include (stale) documentation, as the documentation has moved to
AsciiDoctor. This means that a few environment variables no longer
make sense, so remove them from their sections and mention them in
the compatibility section instead.
While here, also pet mandoc.

Add /var/run/bhyve/ to BSD.var.dist so we don't have to call mkdir when
creating the unix domain socket for a given bhyve vm.
The path to the unix domain socket for a bhyve vm will now be
/var/run/bhyve/vmname instead of /var/run/bhyve/checkpoint/vmname
Move BHYVE_RUN_DIR from snapshot.c to snapshot.h so it can be shared
to bhyvectl(8).

Packages default to ending up in a different location compared to the
documentation, so catch up to the implementation by referring to the
location where packages can usually be found if no environment variables
have been set.
While here, also update the mention of the file extension to match the
txz format that packages use.

Add separate sections for authentication algorithms, block ciphers,
stream ciphers, and AEAD algorithms. Describe properties commmon to
algorithms in each section to avoid duplication.
Use flat tables to list algorithm properties rather than nested
tables.

This is just like debug.kdb.panic, except the string that's passed in
is reported in the panic message. This allows people with automated
systems to collect kernel panics over a large fleet of machines to
flag panics better. Strings like "Warner look at this hang" or "see
JIRA ABC-1234 for details" allow these automated systems to route the
forced panic to the appropriate engineers like you can with other
types of panics. Other users are likely possible.

Section 7 of the manual pages contain lots of very useful information, but
finding the pages is not always obvious - to assist people in finding the

Perhaps it made sense in 1998 (r32836), but now it feels a bit out of
place. We tend to avoid documenting non-essential ports variables in
the manual page (we try to document them in the Porter's Handbook instead).

Our own Ports Collection is not targeting those systems at the moment,
so let's stop documenting bits specific to OpenBSD and NetBSD in the ports

It is rather common for the ports users to replace su(1) with sudo(8)
within the SU_CMD variable. Let's document it in the manual page (so far
it's been hidden in a comment within bsd.commands.mk).

Document the new powerpc64le arch's initial specifications.
Certain things are subject to change while this is experimental. The most
likely change is that long double may switch to quad, dependent on POWER8
emulation assistance for __float128 being set up in the compiler (as
POWER8 does not have IEEE-compatible 128-bit hardware float, unlike POWER9.)

It's no longer unusual to be able to build a release with a single
command, so drop "actually" that hints at a surprise. Also just use
"network install directory" instead of referencing FTP; it's more
likely to be HTTP now.
