Documentation-only change:
- add a reference to the config(5) manpage;
- hopefully clarify the format of the 'env FILENAME' directive.
I am putting these notes in sys/${arch}/conf/GENERIC and not
in sys/conf/NOTES because:
1. i386/GENERIC already had reference to a similar option (hints..)
and to documentation (handbook)
2. GENERIC is what most users look at when they have to modify or
create a new kernel config, so having the suggestion there is
more effective.
I am only touching i386 and amd64 because the other GENERIC files
are already out of sync, and I am not sure what is the overall plan.
MFC after: 3 days
