Improve the main paragraph on the front page of www.FreeBSD.org.

Browse source 
We only have a few sentences so we should use it to describe why
FreeBSD is relevant and interesting.  Spending half of the paragraph
listing 7 trademark symbols and the hardware platforms supported is
not at all a compelling introduction to what is great about FreeBSD
(to be fair it worked fine when we supported fewer platforms).

Point out some of the FreeBSD highlights as succinctly as possible to
entice users to click through to more of the second level pages:
FreeBSD works on modern server, desktop, and embedded computer
platforms, has great networking and security features, is used by some
of the busiest web sites and most pervasive embedded devices, has over
30 years of continuous development, etc..

Add links to the platforms page and large users of FreeBSD section of
the Handbook.
