Russ Allbery 5f70221b2c Remove references to IBM AFS
Change references to the documentation sets that we still ship to
reference the OpenAFS manuals instead of the IBM AFS manuals.  Remove
references to the IBM AFS/DFS Migration documentation, since that
doesn't appear to be available anywhere any more, replacing them where
relevant to more generic references to the DFS documentation.  Add
links to docs.openafs.org for mentions of the manuals in SEE ALSO, and
standardize on one link format.  Replace a few references to the IBM
AFS Release Notes with the actual information in those notes, or drop
the reference if it doesn't seem particularly useful.

=head1 NAME
sys - Reports the compile-time CPU/operating system type
=head1 SYNOPSIS
=for html
<div class="synopsis">
B<sys>
=for html
</div>
=head1 DESCRIPTION
The B<sys> command displays the string set at compile time that indicates
the local machine's CPU/operating system (OS) type, conventionally called
the I<sysname>. This string is the default for the value stored in kernel
memory. The Cache Manager substitutes this string for the I<@sys>
variable which can occur in AFS pathnames; the I<OpenAFS Quick Start
Guide> and I<OpenAFS Administration Guide> explain how using I<@sys> can
simplify cell configuration.
To set a new value in kernel memory, use the B<fs sysname> command. To
view the current value set in the kernel, use either B<fs sysname> or
B<livesys>.
=head1 CAUTIONS
You almost always want to use B<livesys> rather than this command. The
B<sys> command displays a single value hard-coded at compile time. It
does not query the Cache Manager for the current value and it does not
report sysname lists. If you have changed the local system type with B<fs
sysname>, or if you run a version of B<sys> compiled differently than the
Cache Manager running on the system, the value retured will not match the
behavior of the Cache Manager. The only reason to use B<sys> is that
B<livesys> wasn't available in older versions of AFS.
=head1 OUTPUT
The machine's system type appears as a text string:
I<system_type>
=head1 EXAMPLES
The following example shows the output produced on a Sun SPARCStation
running Solaris 5.7:
% sys
sun4x_57
