The old 4.7 packages use dom0pvh=1 on the commandline, while Xen 4.11 is
using dom0=pvh. Adjust those two as well for the supported FreeBSD versions.

- Move definition of various branch-specific variables from
Makefile to Makefile.inc.
- Include share/mk/doc.commands.mk to ensure ${SVN} is properly
defined. If ${SVN} is defined (default) and exists, hardware
is appended to SUBDIR. Add MKTEMP to share/mk/doc.commands.mk
as part of this change.
- If MAN4DIR is not defined (default), use mktemp(1) to create
a temporary directory to check out the share/man/man4 path of
the relevant src branch (determined by evaluating the _BRANCH
variable defined in the Makefile). Once the dev-auto.end is
created, the temporary MAN4DIR is removed. The src-checkout
and man4-rmsrc targets are limited specifically to exclude the
make(install) case, as pseudo-repeatable errors have been
observed under certain conditions that have yet to be determined.

- Document crashinfo and that it automatically runs to generate a

- Add a section on testing kernel dumps via the debug.kdb.panic sysctl.
Remove a later note about debug.kdb.panic from the DDB section.
- Remove any mention of gdb -k (for pre 5-3 kernels) and just talk about
kgdb.
- Remove paragraph that talks about trying to find the kernel.debug file.
Instead, recommand 'kgdb -n <N>' which does this lookup automatically,
and specifically recommend 'kgb -n last' to open the most recent
crash dump. Mention the fallback of specifying the kernel and
vmcore directly if needed.
- Remove example dump from FreeBSD 2. It is generally no longer relevant.
It used gdb -k which uses a different stack trace format as well as
including a 'frame' command that doesn't existing kgdb. (kgdb instead
lets you switch to different threads and processes).
- Remove mention of old boot blocks that don't load debug symbols. I think
this was last relevant in FreeBSD 2.x or 3.x.
- Rework the description of 'boot -d' to assume the boot menu and explicitly
mention 'boot -d' at the loader prompt.
- Document how to get stack traces of other threads in DDB.
- Fix a few references to gdb to reference kgdb instead.
