302b4c3ff7 handbook/bibliography: remove dead link
The link points to the homepage of a website that does not appear to
host documentation anymore. While I don't speak Japanese, I made some
effort to find a still-hosted copy, and did not.

fe2881134b doc: removal of bibliography book
In r52086 the reference from the FAQ was removed.  Remove a book
"bibliography" which is solely a reference to the outdated bibliography,
and not connected to the build.

84dd2b6827 faq: remove the Bibliography; point to the handbook
There isn't any reason to maintain multiple lists of books. We
have three (handbook, website, and the FAQ). The last addition to the
FAQ's collection was in r22439 (2004-09-22). The Handbook's list is more
recent and up to date.

c4c50e5c5d The emulators/xen package does not exist anymore and there are two versions
now. One is for Xen 4.7, intended for FreeBSD 11. The other is for -CURRENT
and uses a more modern Xen 4.11. Adjust the description and examples to
differentiate the two.
The old 4.7 packages use dom0pvh=1 on the commandline, while Xen 4.11 is
using dom0=pvh. Adjust those two as well for the supported FreeBSD versions.

d3a0e706f9 Committer guide: avoid confusing maintainers with hats
The content at administration.html discussed hats, not maintainers.
While certain people do tend to own various areas, this is covered by
MAINTAINERS, Herald, etc. Just remove the reference to administration
since its off-topic in this context.

a6e3a552e1 Fix generation of hardware.html for 12.0.
- Move definition of various branch-specific variables from
  Makefile to Makefile.inc.
- Include share/mk/doc.commands.mk to ensure ${SVN} is properly
  defined.  If ${SVN} is defined (default) and exists, hardware
  is appended to SUBDIR.  Add MKTEMP to share/mk/doc.commands.mk
  as part of this change.
- If MAN4DIR is not defined (default), use mktemp(1) to create
  a temporary directory to check out the share/man/man4 path of
  the relevant src branch (determined by evaluating the _BRANCH
  variable defined in the Makefile).  Once the dev-auto.end is
  created, the temporary MAN4DIR is removed.  The src-checkout
  and man4-rmsrc targets are limited specifically to exclude the
  make(install) case, as pseudo-repeatable errors have been
  observed under certain conditions that have yet to be determined.
- While here, remove hwlist entities from hardware.xml from
  drivers that are no longer present in 12.0-CURRENT.
- Also while here, bump copyright dates.
