Bourne shell -> POSIX shell
The FreeBSD shell is a POSIX compatible shell. It evolved over several decades from the Almquist shell, which was preceeded a decade before that by the Bourne shell. Most readers today have never seen a Bourne shell. If someone wants to learn to use our shell, they need to look for tutorials on the POSIX shell. Align descriptions through out the tree with this reality, consistent with it's manual and common parlance. We made a similar change to the doc tree in b4d6eb01540fe.
