a07f296c34 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.

29d0d30996 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.
