11930f2cee Add a glossary entry for "RCS" with a short description of what it can
do, and a few of the reasons why it's still in use today (simple
setup, ubiquitous, etc).

Triggered by:   A discussion with other doc-people
                and Walt Pawley, walt at wump.org.

3eb38760be Place the "1" and "2" inside of <acronym> tags. If you consistently try
to place them outside of these tags, you get breakage outside of <para>.

91d856844a When pluralizing <acronym>FOO</acronym>, we used to have both
of the following styles:

    <acronym>FOO</acronym>s
    <acronym>FOOs</acronym>

The first one keeps only the *real* acronym letters inside the
element, so pick this one (somewhat arbitrarily) and fix the rest.

e137e59bab o Add an example to the top of this file to help out anyone trying to
add new content.

o Add a glossary entry for every acronym present in the Handbook. [1]
  Except for "US", which I believe is self-explanatory.

o Add additional glossterms for each unexpanded acronym, linking to
  the expanded term.

Many thanks to Warren for this.

bddac34733 Add a skeleton FreeBSD specific glossary, and the appropriate glue to the
handbook to allow it to be incorporated in the build.  This is not on by
default at the moment, and users who want it will need to set WITH_GLOSSARY
to a non-empty string when building ("make WITH_GLOSSARY=yes" being the
common case).

It is expected that committers will help to flesh out the glossary before
it is connected to the build by default; the current entries have been chosen
to illustrate the way that DocBook allows for "See also" and "See" in the
glossary elements.

This commit also takes the index out of the appendices in the handbook, as
this is not the usual place for an index to sit in a book, and moves it to
the end of the book.
