Rename Amanda to Third-Party Backup Utilities.
Add some examples of utils. This section is light-weight and could probably use another paragraph or two.
Rename Emergency Repair Procedure to Emergency Recovery.
Tighten up this section and put the emphasis on the newer installation media option as opposed to the older livefs option.
Make editorial note to close PR48101 in 06/15 when 8.4 is EOl'd.

Clarified text in File System Backups
Redid examples in Directory Backups to show how 3 utils differ when creating similar backups.
New examples are aimed at what a new user is likely to do. More complex examples should be added.
Next pass will finish this section, to be followed by white space fix-ups.

Merge 18.9 Backup Strategies and 18.10 Backup Basics.
Clean up summary.
Divide utilities into File System Backups and Directory Backups sections (not quite complete yet).
Remove Do Nothing section (we don't want to encourage this).
Remove Which Program is Best section as it is personal opinion and based on 23 year old findings.
Next commit will finish the edits to this section.

The primary purposes are to clean up duplicated author definitions in
both share/xml/authors.ent and share/xml/developers.ent, and as a added
bonus simplify writing up author names/email addresses in web pages.
Apart from merging developers.ent into authors.ent, removing the former,
and updating the Committers Guide there should be little user-visible changes:
- a.portmgr renamed to a.portmgr.members
- a.doceng renamed to a.doceng.members
- team.re renamed to a.re.members.email and moved from
share/xml/freebsd.ent to share/xml/authors.ent
- a.core updated and moved from share/xml/mailing-lists.ent to
share/xml/teams.ent
- share/pgpkeys/{addkey.sh|README} updated
Translations are untouched except for build fixes.

* Remove "RAID" section that only covers ccd(4) and ataraid(4). These
may still work, but there are better solutions for new users.
* Remove Backups to Floppies section.
* Add SATA drive names.
* Change CDROM to CD-ROM to match the FDP Primer word list.
About ccd(4):
Once new and useful, thrice ousted from its niche, time's arrow
evicts ccd from the Handbook, to live forever in the archives.

Notes: This merge entirely excludes the en_US/books/handbook/ppp-and-slip/
changes. They will need to be looked at a bit more closely.
Note to translators: I am very, very sorry. There was no *clean* way
to merge this as separate commits. Trust me, I tried.
The revision logs for the ISBN branch should provide some insight to what
content has changed. I am more than happy to help out here. Sorry :(

While here modernize script examples by removing the ".sh" suffix.

8.X, 7.X and 6.X compliant.
we insert /dev/MAKEDEV in the floppy then? I dont have it anymore
on a recent system, thus remove the information about it. Probably
the information in the mini-kernelconfiguration example could use
a little hand as well.
