minimums lingering -- HI PORTMASTERS!)
- various other minor content modernization
- whitespace fixes

branches: 1.19.24;
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...

migrate */contents -> common/contents, as there was *way* too much
unnecessary duplication. wrap the MD stuff in .if r_foo \{\ ... .\}

- use "press" instead of "hit"
- update copyright date

We ship XFree 3.3.6 these days, not 3.3.3.1.

Delete maze of twisty little conditionals. 6 down, 11 to go.

* Delete sun3x from SUBDIR
* The merged contents file didn't work out, so nuke it and put it back
into each port directory. Most still have the now-pointless conditionals;
these now should be deleted.
* fix alpha, amiga, and arm32 to delete the maze of twisty little conditionals

Remove these before someone changes them. There is a common contents file
in distrib/notes/common/contents, conditionalized for the differences
between platform distributions.

Update for mandated release structure.
