Renumber copyright clause 4

Renumber cluase 4 to 3, per what everybody else did when BSD granted
them permission to remove clause 3. My insistance on keeping the same
numbering for legal reasons is too pedantic, so give up on that point.

Standardise chmod, chflags, chown and chgrp recursive symlink processing

chmod, chflags, chgrp, chmod and chown now affect symlinks in -R mode as
defined in symlink(7); previously symlinks were silently ignored.

Merge r204165 from head:

Add a "-x" option to chown(8)/chgrp(1) similar to the same option in
du(1), cp(1) etc, to prevent the crossing of mountpoints whilst using the
commands recursively.

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.

recognised but ignored for SYSV/POSIX.2(?) compatability.
