The l10n chapter directs people to add things to ~/.csh.login but
testing reveals that ~/.login is the right path.
This has also been corroborated by dtrace, and the csh(1) manual page
also refers to ~/.login.

The hier(7) man-page lists /usr/share as the location for
architecture-independent files, so fix a few instances where the
documentation referes to /usr/shared instead of /usr/share.

Currently '/usr/local/bin/python3.7' is used as the value of
PYTHON_CMD. Right now this works because 3.7 is the default version of
Python 3 in the ports tree. However, at some point in the future, this
will be undoubtedly be changed.
It is also possible that users already might be building versions
newer than the default port/package, which needs to be an supported as
well.
In addition, the FDP recommends installing the 'python3' package. This
meta port/package depends on the default version of python, and
automatically creates a symlink to the default version.
With all this in mind, use '/usr/local/bin/python3' is used as the value
of PYTHON_CMD, since this means that the instructions will work
irrespective of which version is assigned.
With this extension a git hash can be easily referenced.
The porters handbook versions chapter uses this extension
as an example in the FreeBSD 14.0 version table.
An example of use
gitref:hash[repository="src|doc|ports",length=hash-longitude]
The repository should be src, doc or ports.
And if no length it's specified the macro will use 12 characters
of the specified hash.

The package name 'hugo' refers to emulators/hugo, a PC Engine
(TurboGrafx 16) emulator, whereas the hugo that is required by the new
framework is www/gohugo. A similar case applies with the package name of
AsciiDoctor, which is 'rubygem-asciidoctor'.
Therefore fix package names so they refer to proper ones.

Remove old a.out information. Update the policy to match our current practice of
rarely, if ever, bumping the major version of libraries, but instead relying on
symbol versioning to maintain a stable ABI. Move from paragraph form to bullet
points. Also, tweak the 'once per major release' policy to 'as needed' because
the conditions that existed for the former no longer apply.

Since 10.3-RELEASE has gone EOL a while ago, update instructions to
match the newest -RELEASE on the newest releng branch as of writing.
While here, also correct at typo that instructed people to look in
/usr/shared which doesn't exist in hier(7).
Generally things are done by consensus, with the core team stepping in when
there's a dispute. Update the documented encumbered software policy to reflect
what's actually done and is considered to be working. This harmonizes the wording
for contributed software and encumbered software. Also wordsmith how Release
Engineering is referenced. Also removes stray > marks on object files. Also
document the fw files.
Note: the ascii file requierment dates from CVS days and should change. But
I've not pushed things that far in this commit.

Do the easy git updates for URLs and branch names. Note svn guide
is just for ports (but don't edit out the src specific bits
