9b7a21de42 Correct some misuses of "its" and "it's". 
Also expand some contractions of the same, discovered while I was
hunting down all of the above.

This commit can very likely be ignored by translation teams, as I doubt
that this problem transcends languages.

37905c3a95 Move section about "Disk Organization" from Install to UNIX Basics 
chapter.  This information is repeated in more basic terms in the
Install chapter, so this more in depth explanation is better suited in
Basics.

6fa84d219b Add "Binary Formats" section to Unix Basics chapter. 
I don't like this here, but it sucks less than having it in any other
sections.

This text bears a *very* suspicious similarity to the binary format
questions in the FAQ.

e2f224d087 Use current attribute for -CURRENT manual pages. It is now possible to 
make the difference between -STABLE and -CURRENT manual pages.  We need
this for devfs, device.hints etc. manual pages in our Handbook.

Manual pages entities for -CURRENT should have the form &man.current.foo.1;
Note, this does not concern release notes but only docs.

An "old" man.devfs.5 entity is kept to allow the build of localized docs
till their upgrade.
