Rewrote the COMMENT about the bogus options CHILD_MAX and OPEN_MAX. These

will be renamed.

Fixed comments about unsupported network protocols.

ncr0 is a controller, not a device.  This make no difference.

Added undocumented options DEVFS_ROOT, I586_CTR_GUPROF and I586_PMC_GUPROF.
Sorted undocumented options.
