Update sound-related manpages to account for the recent change in
device and module naming. The following files were repo-copied: csa.4 -> snd_csa.4 gusc.4 -> snd_gusc.4 maestro3.4 -> snd_maestro3.4 sbc.4 -> snd_sbc.4 uaudio.4 -> snd_uaudio.4 The pcm(4) manpage wasn't renamed to sound(4) as there are nearby plans to rename "device sound" to "device snd", to address the ambiguity in naming, so pcm.4 is linked to sound.4 for the moment. (We also mumble something about the future plans in the manpage.) Removed links from pcm.4 to als4000.4 and emu10k1.4 -- they now have their own snd_*.4 manpages. Fixes for recent snd_*.4 manpages: added missing "device sound" to the SYNOPSIS, fixed hints (they are still "hint.pcm.<unit>" in most cases). MT5 after: 3 days
