Create the release notes framework for the amd64 port. These are,
for the most part, skeleton files that allow the amd64 INSTALL document
to have all the platform-independent bits, with very little MD stuff.

The MD pieces will have to wait for someone familiar with the platform
to add them.

Various style fixes (and some of VAX related errors and copy&pastos),
from Mouse on tech-install.

Move DRM-driver firmware from base to its own set, gpufw

This set is only installed on amd64,i386,evbarm.
This set is installed on minimal installs and on install media, in
case someone needs it for basic driver functionality.

Comments:
Switched to a single MK tunable for it - that is probably unneeded.

An upcoming DRM update will include even fatter firmware, and we'd
like to minimize the impact of it.

Pass the name of the compressor actually used for sets to groff and use
it in the content description (XXX need to adapt a few more copies in,
as of now, unaffected architectures)

Mention that USE_XZ_SETS are either always xzipped, and in evbarm might
be xzipped or gzipped.

Modernize release notes:
- use https where possible
- adapt to cdn/nycdn and our current auto-build conventions
- automate where possible
Many thanks to uwe for lots of *roff help.

Pass the set suffix (either .tgz or .tar.xz) from the makefile.
Document the rescue set.

first pass de-suckification for 2015. modernize content a bit, fix dirty
rotten lies, improve wording, sync legalese with reality, yada yada yada.

Nuke the five(!) install floppies. Welcome to 2015. Approved by

Move common/contents file into MD dirs again.
I know it isn't a good thing to have many copy-and-pasted contents
(set file descriptions etc) in all MD files, but it's much more annoying
to maintain a bunch of .if \n [${MACHINE}] conditionals for all ports
and maintainers rarely notice that they also have to prepare or update
MD contents in MI content file with messy ifdefs.

XXX: of course common text should be shared by mdoc macro etc.
but I doubt playing mdoc(7) is really worth...

merge port-specific legal sections into the common file. most of these
entries were already in the common file, and it's a pain to maintain
them separately.

Make the port-specific changelog ($MACHINE/whatis) optional by using .pso
to call a shell script which outputs nothing if the file is not present.

Remove the "whatis" file for ports where it does not contain anything
useful and hasn't been updated for years. OK tsutsui@, hubertf@.

Add infos about ACPI (now enabled by default) and cdrom images.

- move "MD instructions on setting up boot media"
from common/xfer with messy mdoc .if conditionals
into MD xfer files so that developers can see
what contents are missing or obsolete and should be
written or updated
- remove some useless MD description for maintainability

XXX: still a bunch of unmaintained .if \n [${MACHINE}] in common files
