This change fills out the requirements for doing vendor updates, documents the new vendor update process, and guides whoever needs to do the next version update a bit better than the documentation did prior to this change so everyone can pitch in with version updates a bit better. Convert the document to Markdown while here to make it easier to render/print out the directions in a structured format. MFC after: 2 weeks Differential Revision: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D53190
This directory is for the EXACT same use as src/contrib, except it holds crypto sources. In other words, this holds raw sources obtained from various third party vendors, with FreeBSD patches applied. No compilation is done from this directory, it is all done from the src/secure directory. The separation between src/contrib and src/crypto is the result of an old USA law, which made these sources export controlled, so they had to be kept separate.
