Various updates to the INSTALL notes in preparation for 5.0. Changes
are still to come.

Apply patch from Hauke Fath to solve port-mac68k/29049: sysinst did not
newfs and mount the target filesystem.

In Hauke's words: "Basically, the mac68k md_make_bsd_partitions() function,
which replaces the MI make_bsd_partitions() because the mac68k port does not
have an on-disk BSD disklabel, neglected to sign up BSD partitions for
newfs'ing and mounting by setting the appropriate flags."

Revert the commit to the install notes (rev. 1.14 of notes/mac68k/prep) which
added a warning and a workaround for this bug, as requested by hubertf in the
PR log.

Add text for workaround of sysinst not running newfs etc. as described
in PR mac68k/29049. Text for the workaround mostly provided by Hauke Fath.

This is a complete refit of the mac68k documentation.

Of particular note is documentation on the new preferred method of
installation using sysinst, provided (and updated) by Bob Nestor.

clean up whitespace and formatting

more work:
- use .Tn, .Bx, .Ul, .Key, .Sq, .Dq, .Li, .Dl, (etc) ... as appropriate
- be more consistent between various ports' install notes
- other cleanups

major terraform (this is MUCH more than a rototill :-), including:
- update for 1.5 (still more MD stuff to check)
- use new macros in ../common/macros as appropriate
- introduce some CONSISTENCY bet
