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.

# 3cfa2135 15-Dec-2012 Mikolaj Golub <trociny@FreeBSD.org>

Change `iostat -Ix` to display total duration of transactions instead
of average duration, and total busy time instead of %.

This looks more useful when one runs `iostat -Ix` periodically to
collect statistics: e.g. now it is possible to calculate busy %
between two runs subtracting total busy times and dividing per time
period.

Average duration and % busy are still available via `iostat -x`.

# 43b98c2b 23-Nov-2010 Yaroslav Tykhiy <ytykhiy@gmail.com>

Clarify a few details about iostat(8) behavior:

- The default repeat count for iostat(8) is 1 unless there
was a -w on the command line.

- A -x display doesn't include TTY or CPU stats by default
but they can be turned on with a -T or -C, respectively.

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.
