b9a504725e Sync fortunes with other *BSDs
- Spelling errors
- Typographical fixes
- Consistent attributions
- Use Jr. more consistently
- Capitalization of dictionary-like entries
- Sorting using tools/do_sort
- Remove duplicate fortunes
- Style according to the Notes file
- Reflect correct default fortune name in Notes
- Remove some no longer needed spelling hints
- Drop latin1 characters (sorry Mårten)

This is a partial sync against the DragonflyBSD sources, where a lot of
fixes from Free, Net and OpenBSD were merged previously. Only about 50%
of the changes originate from there, the rest was done by dougb and
yours truly.

74cf8088e7 Prefer exit(0) from main over return(0).
Although not explicitly mentioned in style(9), it allows for easier
grepping of exit points. This reverts part of r203926.

6dbf26d197 fortune(6) switch to 3-clause BSDL; style(9)

191eb488de Our standard "xterm" termcap entry supports colour, so this tip is redundant.
As it happens, "xterm-color" has just been an alias for "xterm" since
src/share/termcap/termcap.src 1.131 in September 2002.

majority of on line references.

918be43d84 [patch] fortune(6): George Bernard Shaw quote fix
From the original PR:

    s/milestones/millstones/
    and less important..
    s/man/Man/
    Not every source I've seen capitalizes 'Man', but it seems
    right. Uncapitalized 'man' would usually be preceded by
    an 'a'. But I haven't seen any reference cite the orignal
    source yet, so I can't say for sure.

42186e4f70 Put back the quote from Chinggis Khan removed in rev. 1.259.
The quote predated rev. 1.232, which rev. 1.259 was to correct;
therefore it was protected by the "Don't remove fortunes" rule.
