Beyond changes to the build system, this includes fixing up the sample
freebsd.mc configuration for changes in defaults and syntax, removing
outdated documentation, and updating the release notes.
mostly unrelated to the attributed PR, and the attributed submitter
wasn't so much suggesting the patch for inclusion as providing it
for clarity.

related patches. These include:
* Mode page editting can be scripted. This involves two
things: first, if stdin is not a tty, changes are read from
stdin rather than invoking $EDITOR. Second, and more
importantly, not all modepage entries must be included in the
change set. This means that camcontrol can now gracefully handle
more intrusive editting from the $EDITOR, including removal or
rearrangement of lines. It also means that you can do stuff
like:
# echo "WCE: 1" | camcontrol modepage da3 -m 8 -e
# newfs /dev/da3
# echo "WCE: 0" | camcontrol modepage da3 -m 8 -e
* Range-checking on user-supplied input values. modeedit.c now
uses the field width specifiers to determine the maximum
allowable value for a field. If the user enters a value larger
than the maximum, it clips the value to the max and warns the
user. This also involved patching cam_cmdparse.c to be more
consistent with regards to the "count" parameter to arg_put
(previously is was the length of strings and 1 for all integral
types). The cam_cdbparse(3) man page was also updated to reflect
the revised semantics.
* In the process, I removed the 64 entry limit on mode pages (not
that we were even close to hitting that limit). This was a nice
side-effect of the other changes.
* Technically, the new mode editting functionality allows editting
of character array entries in mode pages (type 'c' or 'z'),
however since buff_encode doesn't grok them it is currently
useless.
* Camcontrol gained two new options related to mode pages: -l and
-b. The former lists all available mode pages for a given
device. The latter forces mode page display in binary format
(the default when no mode page definition was found in
scsi_modes).
* Added support for mode page names to scsi_modes. Allows names to
be displayed alongside mode numbers in the mode page
listing. Updated scsi_modes to use the new functionality. This
also adds the semicolon into the scsi_modes syntax as an
optional mode page definition terminator. This is needed to name
pages without providing a page format definition.
* Updated scsi_all.h to include a structure describing mode page
headers.
* Added $FreeBSD$ line to scsi_modes.

explanations into a new file "refuse.README". Some users are simply
copying these files and expecting them to work -- without even
reading them. I don't want to spend any more time closing bogus
PRs from that.
Also correct an error or two in the patterns.
Simplify "rs" (\Ec will be fixed later in syscons, so this is intermedia step)
Remove "mh" - termcap must describe what device _actually_ have end left

cards. This basically involves switching to the 12.4.13 firmware, plus
a couple of minor tweaks to the driver.
Also changed the jumbo buffer allocation scheme just a little to avoid
'failed to allocate jumbo buffer' conditions in certain cases.
