Mention that FreeBSD does not ship with /etc/pf.conf by default.
Previous versions of FreeBSD provided a standard /etc/pf.conf, but
that was removed without changing the documentation. Update the
handbook to mention it and point people to the directory
/usr/share/examples/pf/ where example firewall rules are available.
Update link to Daryl's TCP/IP Primer in the firewall chapter.
The link was moved and no forwarding to the new location was put in
place, which resulted in a broken link. Update the link to the new
location.
The summary of the license policy in the commiters guide is a good place
to get started, but the buck stops with the license policy. We enourage
questions before making commits if the policy is not clear.

Subversion (svnlite) has always been Apache-licensed and LLVM
will be as well starting with version 9.0.0.
Note that core@ must still approve imports of new Apache-license
components in the tree as well as license changes to Apache ones.
Thanks to Brooks for the writeup.

While our ancient toolchain still falls into this category, we are
rapidly transitioning away from it and few if any bugfixes have been
merged from upstream in recent years.

The ports security teams exists for a while now, so it should have a
proper listing on the administration page with all current members.
Thanks to Kurt Jaeger for the writeup and submitting the patch.
I only rewrapped one line to fit within the line limits.

Drop mention of SVN and Perforce in favor of using github. If students
are familiar with anything it's going to be git.

Remove instructions about outdated KDE4 and replace
them with KDE5 Plasma.
The instructions are rewritten to cover KDE5 specifics
like installing the necessary packages (SDDM).
Happy KDE5-ing on FreeBSD!

FreeBSD accepts both uppercase and lowercase blocksize modifiers,
whereas Mac OS and Linux disagree on what case to use.

handbook: Improve Firewalls chapter
- Fix some dead links and punctuations
- pfctl_parser.c was moved to a new location since FreeBSD 10
- Fix a few service commands
1) The line
sysrc -f /etc/sysctl.conf vm.max_wired=-1
does not work, it only returns an error about a name containing characters
not allowed in shell. Instead, use echo to add the line to sysctl.conf.
2) Fix the rules for automatic bridge creation, taken from the bridging
chapter of the handbook.
3) Add a note that FreeBSD's Dom0 requires booting in legacy (BIOS) mode.
4) Remove mention of xen.4th for the loader menu. It's not working anymore
with the Lua loader that we have now. Until this is fixed, don't refer
readers to it.
Thanks to royger@ for providing the patch.

variables are introduced.
This patch swaps the order of those two sections and pushes "Marking
a Port as Architecture Neutral" down one level.
By itself this patch seems trivial; however, it needs to be done to
prepare for expanding the section with non-trivial material.
