    Doc: update our docs about kernel IPC parameters on *BSD. · a2b22d8e
    Tom Lane authored
    runtime.sgml said that you couldn't change SysV IPC parameters on OpenBSD
    except by rebuilding the kernel.  That's definitely wrong in OpenBSD 6.x,
    and excavation in their man pages says it changed in OpenBSD 3.3.
    
    Update NetBSD and OpenBSD sections to recommend adjustment of the SEMMNI
    and SEMMNS settings, which are painfully small by default on those
    platforms.  (The discussion thread contemplated recommending that
    people select POSIX semaphores instead, but the performance consequences
    of that aren't really clear, so I'll refrain.)
    
    Remove pointless discussion of SEMMNU and SEMMAP from the FreeBSD
    section.  Minor other wordsmithing.
