3cb0ed22ac Rewrite the section on what information needs to be supplied to make
a good Problem Report.  Add pointers to the new files ports/CHANGES
and ports/UPDATING.  Change some occurrences of FreeBSD to &os; if
they were in the affected lines (another commit will do the remaining
ones).  Suggest guidelines for the often-abused Severity and Priority
fields.  Add a pointer to the categories definition file.  Add the
'threads' category.  Add a warning to include the tracking number on
followups to save creating new, bogus, PRs.
