Update roadmaps, unilaterally, because most of these hadn't been touched since the pre-6.0 period and nobody else has been doing the work. There's a lot of things whose current state I don't know; please fill in. Also the stuff I've added is necessarily biased towards projects I think about, so please add more.

NetBSD Ports Roadmap
====================
This roadmap covers ports and port-specific issues, and also bus-level
material even if it's not strictly port-specific.

The following elements, projects, and goals are considered strategic
priorities for the project:

The following elements, projects, and goals are perhaps less pressing;
this doesn't mean one shouldn't work on them but the expected payoff
is perhaps less than for other things:
Withdraw the 36-bit port item. While there's always interest in it when the idea comes up on the list, there's also a feeling that quixotic and/or crazy projects shouldn't be on roadmaps. Which seems reasonable.

There are a number of reasons to tackle this; it will serve as a code
quality lever. Also there's already a FreeBSD port to steal from.
