Remove reference to a 14 year old IP address for ftp.NetBSD.org.
This is not a joke.

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

--
finish removing the set size stuff, which was thrown out four years ago.
--
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.

don't look for now-gone sparc/legal
