Module Name:    src
Committed By:   lukem

Log Message:
BUILDING: remove duplication from mk.conf(5)

Remove all "make" variables / mk.conf(5) variables already documented
in mk.conf(5).  The duplication was a maintenance headache, as I've
experienced over recent weeks getting the build documentation up to
date.

Add notes clarifying that manual page references are to the NetBSD
manual pages, not to the host manual pages, and how to format from
source, or find online at https://man.netbsd.org.

Add explicit links to the mdoc(7) in-tree source for mk.conf(5),
hier(7), and release(7) because those are directly relevant to the host
build information in BUILDING.

Note: We don't normally need these notes for native documentation,
but BUILDING is intended for users on host systems which might not
be NetBSD(-current).

Add missing defaults.
