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 MÃ¥rten)
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.
Partial review by: wilko (earlier version), ed (dito) In collaboration with: dougb Approved by: ed (co-mentor)

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

Bring in the 4.4 Lite games directory, modulo man page changes and segregation of the x11 based games. I'm not going to tag the originals with bsd_44_lite and do this in two stages since it's just not worth it for this collection, and I've got directory renames to deal with that way. Bleah.
