uname.1: Clarify the -r option

Description

uname.1: Clarify the -r option

It is some times hard to understand the difference between
kernel version and userland version. So clarify the -r option
of uname(1) in terms of a printed kernel version.

While here, add some cross references:

  • cross reference freebsd-version(1) in uname(1)
  • cross reference freebsd-version(1) and uname(1) in freebsd-update(8)
