b7b7574d3b Reorg docs, part 1:
Move all the reference manuals to subdirs of /usr/share/doc/reference.
We have subdirs ref1-ref9, corresponding to man page sections 1-9.

Everything that's the reference manual for a program (sections 1, 6,
8), C interface (sections 2, 3), driver or file system (section 4),
format or configuration (section 5), or kernel internal interface
(section 9) belongs in here.

Section 7 is a little less clear: some things that might go in section
7 if they were a man page aren't really reference manuals. So I'm only
putting things in reference section 7 that are (to me) clearly
reference material, rather than e.g. tutorials, guides, FAQs, etc.
This obviously leaves some room for debate, especially without first
editing the docs with this distinction in mind, but if people hate
what I've done things can always be moved again.

Note also that while roff macro man pages traditionally go in section
7, I have put all the roff documentation (macros, tools, etc.) in one
place in reference/ref1/roff. This will make it easier to find and
also easier to edit it into some kind of coherent form.

c3ab26950f Rework /usr/share/doc.
Update the <bsd.doc.mk> infrastructure, and update the docs to match
the new infrastructure.

- Build and install text, ps, pdf, and/or html, not roff sources.

- Don't wire the chapter numbers into the build system, or use them in
the installed pathnames. This didn't matter much when the docs were a
museum, but now that we're theoretically going to start maintaining
them again, we're going to add and remove documents periodically and
having the chapter numbers baked in creates a lot of thrashing for no
purpose.

- Specify the document name explicitly, rather than implicitly in a
path. Use this name (instead of other random strings) as the name
of the installed files.

- Specify the document section, which is the subdirectory of
/usr/share/doc to install into.

- Allow multiple subdocuments. (That is, multiple documents in one
output directory.)

- Enumerate the .png files groff emits along with html so they can be
installed.

- Remove assorted hand-rolled rules for running roff and roff widgetry
and add enough variable settings to make these unnecessary. This
includes support for
   - explicit use of soelim
   - refer
   - tbl
   - pic
   - eqn

- Forcibly apply at least minimal amounts of sanity to certain
autogenerated roff files.

- Don't exclude USD.doc, SMM.doc, and PSD.doc directories from the
build, as they now actually do stuff.

Note: currently we can't generate pdf. This turns out to be a
nontrivial problem with no immediate solution forthcoming. So for now,
as a workaround, install compressed .ps as the printable form.

54aef6aada Rename "csh.a" (the appendix of the document) to csh.ap: the .a suffix
is a bit of a nuisance when using cvs import and export and, of course,
clashes with .a for library archive as well.

001c68bd94 Rename a large chunk of the make(1) variables which refer to a
program/tool from "FOO" to "TOOL_FOO".  The new variables are:
	TOOL_ASN1_COMPILE  TOOL_CAP_MKDB  TOOL_CAT  TOOL_CKSUM  TOOL_COMPILE_ET
	TOOL_CONFIG  TOOL_CRUNCHGEN  TOOL_CTAGS  TOOL_DB  TOOL_EQN  TOOL_FGEN
	TOOL_GENCAT  TOOL_GROFF  TOOL_HEXDUMP  TOOL_INDXBIB  TOOL_INSTALLBOOT
	TOOL_INSTALL_INFO  TOOL_M4  TOOL_MAKEFS  TOOL_MAKEINFO  TOOL_MAKEWHATIS
	TOOL_MDSETIMAGE  TOOL_MENUC  TOOL_MKCSMAPPER  TOOL_MKESDB
	TOOL_MKLOCALE  TOOL_MKMAGIC  TOOL_MKTEMP  TOOL_MSGC  TOOL_MTREE
	TOOL_PAX  TOOL_PIC  TOOL_PREPMKBOOTIMAGE  TOOL_PWD_MKDB  TOOL_REFER
	TOOL_ROFF_ASCII  TOOL_ROFF_DVI  TOOL_ROFF_HTML  TOOL_ROFF_PS
	TOOL_ROFF_RAW  TOOL_RPCGEN  TOOL_SOELIM  TOOL_SUNLABEL  TOOL_TBL
	TOOL_UUDECODE  TOOL_VGRIND  TOOL_ZIC

For each, provide default in <bsd.sys.mk> of the form:
	TOOL_FOO?=	foo
and for the ${USETOOLS}=="yes" case in <bsd.own.mk>, provide override:
	TOOL_FOO=	${TOOLDIR}/bin/${_TOOL_PREFIX}foo

Document all of these in bsd.README.

This cleans up a chunk of potential (and actual) namespace collision
within our build infrastructure, as well as improves consistency in
the share/mk documentation and provision of appropriate defaults for
each of these variables.

1f4ad37fe3 "Utilize" has exactly the same meaning as "use," but it is more
difficult to read and understand. Most manuals of English style
therefore say that you should use "use".
