21c0c8925b Mention full memor dumps, minidumps, and textdumps in the introduction
to kernel debugging, with consequences for debugging.

Mention that the default in more recent FreeBSD versions is to
automatically select a swap partition and use it as a dump partition,
and don't suggest changing the default.

This chapter could use rather serious updating.

865b53d924 Remove stub chapters that are relics of Jeroen's original proposal for
a Developer Handbook.

In 5 years we haven't had anyone contribute a chapter on Alpha
Assembly Language programming, Linux Compatability, Syscons, UFS,
AFS/NFS, or Signals.  If someone wants to in the future, great, but
there is no need for empty stub chapters anymore.

There are much better sources for this content in the D&I book and
Stevens' APUE.

Removing these stubs makes the content that we do have more apparent,
rather than focussing on what has yet to be written.
