Warner Losh 59b83c47e2 awk: Note awk upgrades.
Note the high level differences with the latest one true awk
import. This list may grow as we learn more troublesome areas.

Updated description of the format fo the file to match the file.

I'll likely merge this change (and any followups) by direct commit to
stable/13 and stable/12 in a couple of weeks.

various
One True Awk has been updated to the latest from upstream
(20210215). All the FreeBSD patches, but one, have now been
either up streamed or discarded. Notable changes include:
o Locale is no longer used for ranges
o Various bugs fixed
o Better compatibility with gawk and mawk
The one FreeBSD change, likely to be removed in FreeBSD 14, is that
we still allow hex numbers, prefixed with 0x, to be parsed and
interpreted as hex numbers while all other awks (including one
true awk now) interpret them as 0 in line with awk's historic
behavior.

Commit ee29e6f31111 added a new sysctl called vfs.nfsd.srvmaxio
that can be used to increase the maximum I/O size for the NFS
server to any power of 2 up to 1Mbyte while the nfsd(8) is not running.
The FreeBSD NFS client can now be set to use a 1Mbyte I/O size
via the vfs.maxbcachebuf tunable and the Linux NFS client
can also do 1Mbyte I/O.
kern.ipc.maxsockbuf will need to be increased. A console
message will suggest a setting for it.

gconcat(8) has added support for appending devices to the device
not present at creation time.
76681661be28
Remove support for asymmetric cryptographic operations from
the kernel open cryptographic framework (OCF).
a145cf3f73c7
The NFSv4 client now uses the highest minor version of NFSv4
supported by the NFSv4 server by default instead of minor version 0,
for NFSv4 mounts.
The "minorversion" mount option may be used to override this default.
