mdoc: move CAVEATS, BUGS and SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS sections to the
bottom of the manpages and order them consistently.

GNU groff doesn't care about the ordering, and doesn't even mention
CAVEATS and SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS as common sections and where to put
them.

Create the altix project branch. The altix project will add support
for the SGI Altix 350 to FreeBSD/ia64. The hardware used for porting
is a two-module system, consisting of a base compute module and a
CPU expansion module. SGI's NUMAFlex architecture can be an excellent
platform to test CPU affinity and NUMA-aware features in FreeBSD.

- Move from mount(2) to nmount(2). This should allow to convert MNT_SNAPSHOT
flag from a mount flag to FS-specific flag.
- Simplify usage. Instead of 'mksnap_ffs /mnt/foo /mnt/foo/snap' allow to
give only one argument: 'mksnap_ffs /mnt/foo/snap'. Old usage is also
accepted for now.
- Add an example of how to mount a snapshot.

Add the mksnap_ffs command to the sbin directory. This setuid root
program allows users in the operator group to take filesystem
snapshots. Its first use will be in support of `dump -L'.
