mdoc: move CAVEATS, BUGS and SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS sections to the
bottom of the manpages and order them consistently.

GNU groff doesn't care about the ordering, and doesn't even mention
CAVEATS and SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS as common sections and where to put
them.

# 196409 20-Aug-2009 zec

vimage(8) is a legacy CLI interface for managing jails associated with
network stack instances, which is provided for compatibility with
older applications. This change brings it back to life in a followup
to the initial conversion of vimage to use the new jail(4)
userland-kernel API:

- when creating vimages via "vimage -c", by default turn on a few
options expected by legacy applications, such as allow operations on
raw sockets, FS mounts etc, and allow jail-related parameters to be
optionally configured.

- introduce the "-m" modifier which allows for configuring jail
parameters of existing vimages / vnet-jails.

- make "vimage name command ..." actually work.

- when reassigning ifnets to vnets using "vimage -i", attempt to rename
the ifnet as "ethXXX" on arrival in the target vnet. Several legacy
applications are known to depend heavily on such behavior.

- vimage -l lists only jails associated with vnets. The output is
sorted using vimage / jail names as keys.

- vimage -l by default searches only the current level in the jail
hierarchy. Recursive listing can be requested via -r switch.

- vimage -l by default prints only jail names on each line, making
such output suitable for pipelining to other commands. More verbose
output can be obtained via -v switch, and even more jail specific
information will be displayed if -j switch is turned on.

- there's no need to build vimage as statically linked, so update the
Makefile accordingly.

- update the vimage.8 man page.
