I have finally got to this. Here is a proposed patch to secmodel_bsd44.9
The file will also move to man7/secmodel_bsd44.7 and a securelevel.7 link
to it will be created. I will also update xrefs in other man pages.

I have removed the list of include files, because the man page does not
talk about programming at all, is it OK?
