Bump __FreeBSD_version to reflect the availability of capabilities, but
also capability-related changes to fget(9). This is likely not part of
a formal KPI, but the nvidia driver (at least) uses it.
Mention /dev/{stdin,stdout,stderr} breakage that appears in certain
kernel revisions as best avoided!
