Copy stable/9 to releng/9.3 as part of the 9.3-RELEASE cycle.

MFC r260913,266895:
Add a new flag to /etc/ttys: onifconsole. This is equivalent to "on" if the
device is an active kernel console and "off" otherwise. This is designed to
allow serial-booting x86 systems to provide a login prompt on the serial line
by default without providing one on all systems by default. Set this flag
on x86 systems for ttyu0.

Phase out ttyslot(3).

The ttyslot() function was originally part for SUSv1, marked LEGACY in
SUSv2 and removed later on. This function only makes sense when using
utmp(5), because it was used to determine the offset of the record for
the controlling TTY. It makes little sense to keep it here, because the
new utmpx file format doesn't index based on TTY slots.

Stop mentioning /usr/X11R6.

Fixup of last commit: Use the name X instead of XFree86 for the server binary,
thus being compatible with both XFree86 and X.org.

Make the example for using xterm as a login manager to match the X of the
noughties, not eighties.

Sort sections.

mdoc(7) police:

Avoid using parenthesis enclosure macros (.Pq and .Po/.Pc) with plain text.
Not only this slows down the mdoc(7) processing significantly, but it also
has an undesired (in this case) effect of disabling hyphenation within the
entire enclosed block.

Remove whitespace at EOL.

Prepare for mdoc(7)NG.

Correct the ttys.5 and init.8 manpages with respect to the incorrect
assumption that only getty processes can be managed. Describe the
SysV-like ability to keep arbitrary long-running processes alive
using a non-device first field in /etc/ttys.

Make the long-awaited change from $Id$ to $FreeBSD$

This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.

Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.

Added group= facility to /etc/ttys for tty grouping for more
more manageable and convenient referencing by login.conf (login
class database) and (e.g.) login.access.

This is the first of a group of commits which implements the login
class capabilities database.

Finally commit the changes that make getty(8) no longer depend on the
COMPAT_43 cruft. This is supposedly the last core utility that has
been using it! (So now, one should be able to remove this option from
the config files. Be aware that the last officially released xterm
however still requires it.)

The getty has been running now for several weeks on my modem line, so
i feel safe about it.

Replace this with the 1.1.5.1 getty. David says that the 4.4 version is too
