Sync vi/ex and editors documentation with current reality. - Most suggested documentation (except for vi(1) man page) is available in misc.tgz installation set, adjust the suggestion accordingly - Instead of pointing the reader to src directly point her to documentation in /usr/share/doc and add the *.{ps.gz,txt} paths in the list - `Vi tutorial' is no longer available, adjust that in the list and suggests `An Introduction to Display Editing with Vi' as a starting point for vi(1). - `Vi Command & Function Reference' is no longer available, suggests `Ex/Vi Quick Reference' as a useful reference instead. Should address PR misc/53091 by Ray.
