The ghostscript port was split up into an X11-dependent and -independent
part in ports r395047. As a result, the print/ghostscript port no longer
exists, causing broken links in the printing chapter of the handbook.
Rename all occurances of print/ghostscript with print/ghostscript9-base to
fix the broken links.

When running
sysrc -f /etc/sysctl.conf net.inet.ip.fw.verbose_limit=5
it throws the following error:
sysrc: net.inet.ip.fw.verbose_limit: name contains characters not allowed in
shell
Fix this by reverting to using an echo to add the sysctl to sysctl.conf.

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- Remove a link to the old pf porting efforts, which is obsolete nowadays and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

- 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
