First cut at INSTALL notes for NetBSD/arc.
Finally we could close another ancient PR port-arc/11443.

After several years, we got the native bootloader and then had
sysinst which would do apprpriate partitioning for the bootloader,
so I've noted the last difficult part, how to specify boot commands
on the ARC BIOS.

I still wonder how many possible users of NetBSD/arc are there
who will need this topic though... ;-p

branches: 1.2.10;
a Makefile at this point is pointless...

branches: 1.1.2;
add Makefile

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

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.

branches: 1.4.2; 1.4.4;
Fix a typo

Document debug sets and kernel module directory.

branches: 1.2.8; 1.2.14;
- update upgrade issues:
+ ARM ABI change
+ new users
+ new groups
- add modules set where missing
- formatting improvements
- note that rtsol{,d} will be gone in the future
- fix raw partition info
- update sparc64 hardware support
- remove note about sparc SMP support being broken
- update some size requirements (still lots of ancient bogus RAM
minimums lingering -- HI PORTMASTERS!)
- various other minor content modernization
- whitespace fixes

branches: 1.1.24;
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.

branches: 1.7.32; 1.7.78;
avoid empty lines between advert clause

branches: 1.6.2;
use .It for formatting legal section.

more work:
- use .Tn, .Bx, .Ul, .Key, .Sq, .Dq, .Li, .Dl, (etc) ... as appropriate
- be more consistent between various ports' install notes
- other cleanups

major terraform (this is MUCH more than a rototill :-), including:
- update for 1.5 (still more MD stuff to check)
- use new macros in ../common/macros as appropriate
- introduce some CONSISTENCY between the various ports' install docs
- use various mdoc macros as appropriate, including .Li, .Pa, .Sy, and .Ic.
- migrate more stuff into ../common/*
- whitespace cleanup
- lots of other little things i'm sure...

indent paragraph following "in the following statement, This software [...]"

branches: 1.2.2;
legal notice for William F. Jolitz and TeleMuse.

add legal notice of OpenBSD, Per Fogelstrom and Opsycon AB.

Update for pkgsrc README.html transition

- 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
