Sync fortunes with other *BSDs
- Spelling errors - Typographical fixes - Consistent attributions - Use Jr. more consistently - Capitalization of dictionary-like entries - Sorting using tools/do_sort - Remove duplicate fortunes - Style according to the Notes file - Reflect correct default fortune name in Notes - Remove some no longer needed spelling hints - Drop latin1 characters (sorry Mårten)
This is a partial sync against the DragonflyBSD sources, where a lot of fixes from Free, Net and OpenBSD were merged previously. Only about 50% of the changes originate from there, the rest was done by dougb and yours truly.

This is a massive cleanup of the fortune files, including removal of many duplicates, formatting/whitespace fixes, spelling fixes, and a host of others. Note: No fortunes were intentionally removed (other than duplicates) as part of this cleanup. In removing dupes I tried to be generous in not removing similarly worded fortunes that had even slightly different punch lines.
Duplicates were resolved as follows (in this order): * + limerick -> limerick * + fortunes-o.real -> fortunes-o.real * + fortunes2-o -> fortunes2-o * + zippy -> zippy murphy + fortunes -> fortunes
In correcting spelling I've tried to leave colloquial variations (especially British'isms) intact, as well as to not "correct" errors that are part of the joke.
In fortunes and fortunes2-o I combined a couple of fortunes that were adjacent to each other that seemed like they should have originally been combined, and split a couple that seemed like they should have originally been split.
Miscellaneous: 1. Fixed underlining 2. Capitalized proper names 3. Removed quotation marks from "freestanding" quotes for consistency 4. Added quotation marks to QOTD fortunes that needed them 5. Corrected or added many attributions 6. Removed apostrophes from trailing 's' that are plural, not possessive 7. Updated the path to fortune stuff included in some of the jokes 8. Updated several fortunes to their original version, and added attribution 9. Split up compound words that ispell tripped over

By overwhelming demand, revert the one=two joke to its previous form. Also, fix a couple whitespace formatting errors and typos.
Note that the Klingon joke has a 12-point version in the -chat list, mesg-id: <19990717120618.C269@marder-1> (thanks to DES and to submitter doug@gorean). Also, note that the following people need to learn to double-space after a period: <DougB@gorean.org>, <des@flood.ping.uio.no>, <mellon@pobox.com>, <jeroen@vangelderen.org>, and <rsidd@physics.iisc.ernet.in>.

The submitter also posted a change to 'fortunes.sp.ok', but it looks like this file is no longer needed in our version so I've left the typo in the file. (It also doesn't have a $FreeBSD$ tag, and I couldn't easily find in the code whether it will allow comments within it or not.)
