Document network-boot-arguments for sparc64 diskless(8)

The Oracle OpenBoot 4.x Administration Guide[0] documents a few useful
options for network boot.

Basically, either
{ok} setenv network-boot-arguments tftp-retries=0
{ok} boot net ...
or
{ok} boot net:tftp-retries=0 ...

Newer machines like the T4-2 using OpenBoot 4.38.16 also support BOOTP/DHCP
besides RARP: "dhcp,hostname=puffy" works as expected on my
T4-2, but "boot-filename" and "boot-retries" remain unsupported on this
particular machine despite being documented in the guide.

# 1.19 26-Jun-2008 ray

First pass at removing clauses 3 and 4 from NetBSD licenses.

Not sure what's more surprising: how long it took for NetBSD to
catch up to the rest of the BSDs (including UCB), or the amount of
code that NetBSD has claimed for itself without attributing to the
actual authors.
