Update the Xen chapter to support newer versions of Xen.
This patch clarifies which versions of FreeBSD support Xen 4.7 (PVHv1)
and Xen 4.11 or greater (PVHv2). Additionally, improve a few of the
instructions. Use onifconsole for Xen, add a line to loader.conf to
load the tap device. Remove restrictions to use MMCFG PCI accesses for
Xen >= 4.11. Make /var/log/xen stand out a bit more by making it a tip.
Finally, the example guest was creating a 10.3 version of FreeBSD,
which is no longer supported. Update that to 12.0 and wrap it in
replaceable tags so that people know they can put something else there.
The netperf webpage has not been updated in quite some time. Most updates
regarding machine allocations are happening on the wiki nowadays. It does not
make sense to keep the information here, so remove the section and replace it
with a reference to the wiki instead.
The config and news section has also been largely left alone for years. Remove
it as well as it is unlikely that someone will be posting updates there any
time soon.

Add more information about Bluetooth usage.
The patch shows how to create a remote device connection and
how to manage devices in /etc/bluetooth/hosts. The multimedia
chapter was extended with a description on how to set up and
connect a Bluetooth audio device as a sound sink.
It also adds man page references to man-refs.ent for hcsecd(8)
and virtual_oss(8), respectively.
After discussing some updates to the PF chapter with current maintainer kp@,
I came up with the following list of changes in this patch:
- Change the warning message to remove the reference to a specific PF version
and point out that FreeBSDs pf has diverged from what's in OpenBSD.
- Remove a link to the old pf porting efforts, which is obsolete nowadays and
doesn't provide much value to the reader anymore
- Change the reading flow by putting the ALTQ section at the end of the chapter.
ALTQ with PF is not used by everyone, so having that at the end of the chapter
is good to not overwhelm the reader too much with concepts they probably don't
need.
- Remove the "In order to" sentence parts which are mostly superfluous and can
be replaced with "to" for increased readability
- Sprinkle in some sysrc in examples where it makes sense to use it

It is not immediately obvious to all users how to move the cursor around
the partitioning section in bsdinstall, and this kind of thing can put
people off very quickly.

The discussions with affected parties have concluded. It was determined
that more time is required for the community to adjust. Thus, there will
be no changes to the support model for STABLE/12. Any changes will apply
to STABLE/13.

- Remove mention of CARGO_GH_CARGOTOML after ports r496795
- Update CARGO_USE_GITHUB description. It does not patch Cargo.lock.
That is done automatically during the configure phase by cargo
itself and is not worth mentioning here.
