releng: strip some old things

Browse source 
There is a two year old warning that this document is partly outdated
	and that re@ is working on updating it.
	I don't see many substantive commits updating this doc, so just do a
	drive-by and remove the obviously wrong and outdated things.
	the article can use some additional work from someone more clueful about
	the current re@ process.

	- remove sysinstall references

<title>Release ISOs</title>
<para>Starting with &os;&nbsp;4.4, the &os; Project decided to
release all four ISO images that were previously sold on the
<emphasis>BSDi/Wind River Systems/FreeBSD Mall</emphasis>
<quote>official</quote> CDROM distributions. Each of the four
discs must contain a <filename>README.TXT</filename> file that
explains the contents of the disc, a
<filename>CDROM.INF</filename> file that provides meta-data for
the disc so that &man.sysinstall.8; can validate and use the
contents, and a <filename>filename.txt</filename> file that
provides a manifest for the disc. This
<emphasis>manifest</emphasis> can be created with a simple
command:</para>
<screen>/stage/cdrom&prompt.root; <userinput>find . -type f | sed -e 's/^\.\///' | sort &gt; filename.txt</userinput></screen>
