- Split the table of FreeBSD ISOs up into one for 4.X and 5.X each.

Browse source 
After the 5.4 layout changes it makes no sense to keep this in a
  combined table.
- Bring ISO names into the correct format.
- mini ISO -> miniinst ISO
- Note that the miniinst ISO is only available for versions prior to 5.4. (1)
- Limit a paragraph to 4.X only (not applicable to 5.X after the layout changes).
