3626f83327 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.

2bd2a050ac Remove the advice relating to the number of cylinders per cylinder 
group.  The highest possible value is calculated automatically since
rev 1.41 of src/sbin/newfs.c .

98181c4975 o Reflect changed default such that keepalives are always enabled by 
default now.  Discuss why that's good.  Note that there are still
  some situations where turning it off may be advantageous, including
  situations where there are network outages and it's desirable to
  have TCP sessions last beyond the outage.

9aa92d5586 Moderate the recommendation that TCP keepalives always be turned on; 
in some environments, this may result in the early termination of
legitimate TCP sessions during temporary network outages.  However,
maintain a strong recommendation that this be used when many network
clients are dialup.

325c1f2d13 Note that the contents of /tmp may or may not be kept between system 
reboots.

Also add a `NOTES' section that reminds the reader that this man page
just documents the system default, and that the hierarchy of a given
site is at the system administrators discretion.

d33a962d07 Move /etc/defaults/make.conf to /usr/share/examples/etc/make.conf as 
discussed on the arch@ mailinglist (after repo-copy).

sys.mk will .error if it finds /etc/defaults/make.conf but include
it anyways (this is the same behaviour as with the make.conf.local
removal).

/usr/share/examples/etc/make.conf has BDEFLAGS commented out now,
since it's only an example file.

Adjust all textes that talk about make.conf or defaults/make.conf to
match the new situation.

c4d9468ea0 mdoc(7) police: 
Avoid using parenthesis enclosure macros (.Pq and .Po/.Pc) with plain text.
Not only this slows down the mdoc(7) processing significantly, but it also
has an undesired (in this case) effect of disabling hyphenation within the
entire enclosed block.
