The textproc/fop is an optional package that can be installed to generate
PDF output of our docs. It is not included in textproc/docproj by default
and if not strictly required, but for those who want PDFs we describe how.
While here, bump the copyright dates of the FDP primer.
Thanks to Pau Amma for this change.

Clean up the sections a bit to distinguish the two available debuggers (gdb
and llvm). This includes giving the existing gdb sections a title that
ends in "with gdb". The existing gdb section were grouped together into a
new "Using gdb" section and moved up one section level (sect3 to sect2).
A new section "Introduction to available debuggers" introduces and
distinguishes gbd and lldb. Insert a new "Using lldb" section after the
introduction, using the same structure and example code as the gdb section
to ease comparison between the two compilers.
An earlier reference to gdb is replaced by a generic debugger reference.
Include the neccessary whitespace changes. On top of that, update copyright
years of the developers-handbook.
Thanks to Pau Amma for his diligent work on the patch and incorporating
our feedback from the review!

De-empasize the use of shar archives when submitting new ports.
When we were still using gnats and CVS, shar was the best way of submitting
new ports to the PR database, for inclusion in the ports tree. These days,
it is usually easier to use a patch from svn, or even git.
Move the shar example further to the bottom of the page in the section about
submitting ports to the FreeBSD project.

While here, modernize and tighten up the text.
TODO: I am checking with the Foundation to see if the physical address
is still the right one.
The ZFS quota examples started with setting quotas for a user that was not
created in the chapter. This led to some confusion for (new) people who tried
out the example and got an error message about the missing user.
Add a small paragraph to explain this concept and that ideally, when creating
a user, the /home dataset should be created first to not shadow it afterwards.
