04a2a0d93f Per recent discussions in core, commit the updates to the tier 
document as posted to the developers list about three months ago.
Some comments from that time have not been addressed, but will be in
subsequent commits.  I had hoped to get them all ironed out before,
but I've been too swamped.

If you have additional comments, please feel free to send them to me.

This recognizes that FreeBSD is increasingly being used in embedded
targets and starts to define what is expected of these embedded
targets at different tier levels, and recognizes that we may do
releases for them differently than we do for server/desktop.

c0d50d5d00 Fix problem marked with "XXX" in revision 1.223 by Ceri: 
Add an XXX comment regarding account locking procedures.  This text is
currently wrong, but the correct way to do this is currently pending a
resolution in bin/71147.

Yar resolved this issue with his modifications to pam_unix.c revision 1.52
which was later MFCed.

The fix was to rewrite portions of this section to cover the differences between
a *'red account and a *LOCKED* account.  While here, remove the comment.
