Lots of wording improvements, grammar errors, punctuation error and wrong word
fixes. Also, do some limited one sentence one line (1s1l) conversion.
Submitted by: Pau Amma (though not the 1s1l stuff).
Don't say there are two options and then give only one. Update that
sentence to reflect where the project seems to have landed in terms of
how to do MFCs. The original was written prior to the transtion and the
existing practice has shifted to cherry-pick -x almost exclusively.
Highlight MFC to a branch needing approval
Rearrange a couple sections to improve document structure.
Change some enumeration lists to bulleted lists since I think that looks nicer.
Fix a few typos and reformat a few paragraphs to one line per sentence
style. Try to use repository insteast of 'repo' or even 'source of
truth'. Clarify a few places and fix some grammar errors.

Add git commit --amend with a comment about doing a final check of the commit
message before the push. Update with some more specific guidance on a good
commit message. Add link to commit message section. Minor tweaks I noticed
while doing this as well for having one setence one line.

Use angle brackets instead of italic to denote mandatory fields after
"freebsd/developer/" blocks. "freefall name" and "NickServ name" are
also renamed to "freefall username"` and "FreeNode account".

Integreate MFC procedures into the committer's handbook. This was originally in
my freebsd-git-docs repo where it was collaberatively created. The changes here
are light edits and a conversion from markdown to asciidoc.

Fix a number of typos. Note why one would prefer publishing a repo over
phabricator. Try to minimize use of contractions. Clarify the mysterious 'source
of truth' phrase.
Noticed by: Pau Amma (except the contractions)
Vendor branch managed belongs in the comitter guide, as it is relevant to
comitters and not to the larger community of people developing for FreeBSD,
which the developer's guide more genereal development.
It is no longer relevant to the day-to-day operations of the project. It's all
done with git now. We have the old content in the doc repo should someone need
this information in the future.
Steps 1-4 from the Committer's guide:
* Add entries for Ka Ho Ng <khng>
* Add PGP key

- Remove extraneous quotes from attributes.
- Prefer active voice to passive voice when describing changes.
- Correct a few entries that claimed functionality changed when
the associated changes were changes to the documentation.
- Move the VirtIO V1 comment to the device drivers section and
make it more generic as well as adding missing context for Q35
(it's specific to QEMU).
- Trim the bhyve entries to not include changes already present
in 12.2. Also, don't list bugfixes to previous changes, e.g.
a single entry for VM snapshots is sufficient from a user's
perspective.
- Replace some bhyve entries with broader entries such as support
for LA57 and Hygon Dhyana.
- In the note about the i386 CPUTYPE, shift to present tense
instead of future tense.
