MFR50: Synchronize the content of the errata file with RELENG_5_0.
article.sgml 1.9.2.4
At this point, the errata file on HEAD should contain the same content
as for RELENG_5_0, but be compatible with the SGML entities and other
infrastructure on HEAD. We can now add content here and it will
appear as post-release errata.
