Improve the instructions for growing disks
The previous instructions did not explaina all of the steps, and lacked
information to explain to the user which numbers and device names they
might need to change for their circumstances
Reduce the impact of example $FreeBSD$ version strings by enclosing them
in <phrase> elements. The its:notranslate property can then be set on
these individual lines rather than a whole <screen> or <programlisting>.
Add its:translate="no" properties to elements containing $FreeBSD$
version strings. This will prevent them from showing up in PO
translations and causing difficulties.
It has the unfortunate side effect that the entire element contents do
not appear in PO files. Most of these are elements are <programlisting>,
which are probably not translated often yet. At least one is a <screen>,
which might be more of a problem.
At this point, this is a workaround to make it possible for PO translators
to continue work without the ever- changing version strings creating
conflicts.
Slightly revise the way we refer to FreeBSD 12 here.
