- move entries in singular to the corresponding plural entries,
- fix AT&T index entry,

I've specifically left JKH's attribution for the "FreeBSD History"
section in tact, since this is a first person account of the history
of FreeBSD and as such the author needs to be identified in place.
This could probably be marked up differently, but its clear that this
section is different from all of the other "contributed by XXX" in the
Handbook.
Also add support for <sect1info> and <sect2info> to the stylsheet so
that these attributions get displayed as they have been.
Local-file URLs are encoded as file://localhost/path/file which is
fine for HTML but this looks ugly when printed.
Add a function to chop off the "file://localhost" so that the above
URL would be printed as "/path/file" but still link to
"file://localhost/path/file" for HTML output.
