Due to a potentionally intrusive change to address a performance
issue with UFS, add BETA4 to the 13.0 schedule to allow time for
testing.

We are using Hugo Front Matter with YAML and there is an extra space in
the ending `---` quotes, which bothers the translation tool. This is not
happening in all files.

- amd64 is no longer a new thing and is now the largest-used FreeBSD platform,
so make its description self-contained and not dependent on i386.
- Use a single list of all the other names for amd64 and add x86-64 as the
first alias in the list.
- Mention multi-core and SMT (not just SMP) for amd64. Also note that amd64
requires ACPI and supports booting from both UEFI and legacy BIOS.
- Note that FreeBSD/amd64 runs on laptops and desktops.
- Remove outdated lists of processors. Instead, simply claim that
amd64 runs on all Intel and AMD 64-bit x86 CPUs. Similarly, simplify
the list for i386 to just require an FPU and CMPXCHG. Add VIA to the
vendors for i386.
- For i386, trim language about SMP. It's not that novel and the smp@ list is
not a useful reference. Do mention multi-core and SMT.
- Only claim that i386 motherboards with PCI are well-supported. Clarify
that there is limited support for AGP and ISA and that ISA support really
means LPC support. Remove EISA, VLB, and MCA which are all either removed or
barely present.
- Don't mention PCCARD for i386 laptops.
- Simplify language about ACPI for i386.
- Note that i386 only boots via BIOS and doesn't support booting via UEFI.

The gitref macro added in commit fb36cfdfb2 handles changes in both src,
doc and ports trees, takes up less space, and is quicker to write, so
update all uses of the commit shortcode.
While here, also update the canonical sample that's commented out.
Also re-arrange some items which were initially placed in the wrong
sections.
Since the shortcode is now no longer used, remove it.
Pursuant to the DocBook->AsciiDoctor migration, status reports are
similarily moving from MarkDown to AsdiiDoctor, as there should be no
functional change in how report entries are handled by commiters or
contributors.
While here, remove sample file that has never been referred to anywhere,
and update the README used by the status project team.
Add release notes for bin/calendar, usr.bin/gh-bc (contrib/bc), and
the new getlocalbase() function in libutil
This is the first commit regarding actual changes of base components
in this document and I'm not sure about the style and format expected.
Feel free to edit and adapt the text from this commit (or let me know
how it should be changed) to make it better align with later additions
to this file.

While here, implement a template for cgit links called 'commit' for lack
of a better term.
This fixes the only build issue with this patch, and has been tested in
Firefox with the run target as well.
