It is some times hard to understand the difference between
kernel version and userland version. So clarify the -r option
of uname(1) in terms of a printed kernel version.

While here, add some cross references:

- cross reference freebsd-version(1) in uname(1)
- cross reference freebsd-version(1) and uname(1) in freebsd-update(8)

freebsd-update: Add `updatesready' and `showconfig' commands

`freebsd-update updatesready' can be used to check if there are any pending
fetched updates that can be installed.

`freebsd-update showconfig' writes freebsd-update's configuration to
stdout.

This also changes the exit code of `freebsd-update install' to 2 in case
there are no updates pending to be installed and there wasn't a fetch phase
in the same invocation. This allows scripts to tell apart these error
conditions without breaking existing jail managers.

See freebsd-update(8) for details.
