This removes the assertion that only portupgrade or portmaster
are suitable for upgrading ports, and provides a framework for
discussing more alternatives as they become available.
Synth is mentioned as an alternative. A subsequent patch will
be put up for community discussion.
While here, clean up some duplicate and awkward wording.
This commit expands on the rework done in D8838 and D8839.

The presentation assumes more knowledge on the part of a new user to
FreeBSD than it should.
In good writing, concepts should always be introduced before being
discussed. The current presentation mixes them. The new order introduces
applications, then ports, then packages, and then elaborates on the
difference between packages and ports.
90% of the content is merely moved. Some editing for clarity is included.

The presentation assumes more knowledge on the part of a new user to
FreeBSD than it should. Some of the text, while correct, is still too
easy to misunderstand.
The overall sense of the text does not change.
Add note about ports not running their startup scripts upon installation
as being by design.

Move these releases to the list of past releases and mark them as
"not officially supported".
Do not remove the entities for these releases as they are still used in
other parts of the documentation.
