- Clarify what's "fully" supported, and what's only partially supported or
not at all supported due to varying support for onboard devices.
- Update with new stuff that should work or has been tested.

While here, spell "Soft Updates" consistently (and hopefully
correctly).

There still are several references to the now-gone userconfig; these need to
be fixed before 5.0-RELEASE.

A useless entry was removed, as per its comment.
Fixed a number of typos and grammos.
Old (pre-4.6) security advisories were marked as historic. Hyperlinks
were removed from these release notes to work around a buglet in
footnote numbering for printed output. These changes eliminated three
pages of only marginally-useful utility.
Clarify a note on procfs(5) mounts.
The games/freebsd-games port now exists, so refer to it when talking
about the removal of the traditional BSD games.
lukemftpd was deactivated, so remove its release note.
Add text on the demise of pkg_version -c.

works on sparc64, this document can now use (almost) the same

from the older sparc64/install.sgml file, which is now unlinked from
the document build.
This document is a long ways from perfect, but it's better than shipping
instructions for an installation procedure that doesn't apply anymore.
While here, add some SGML comments to help others navigate the sources.

This will give ia64 folks the chance to help flesh these out, and
also ensure that (when the time comes) ia64 releases with documentation
won't fall over due to missing RELNOTESng files.
o All of the Q&A entries in this section were i386-specific, so make
these conditional on building for that platform. If
non-i386-platforms need similar Q&A lists, they can add their own to
this file.
o Coalesce the two Q&A sections into one.
o Correct some device names (wd(4) devices have not existed for quite
some time).
o Get rid of a number of obsolete entries (suggested by jhb).
