There are a few places where we compare a RELEASE to it's STABLE branch,
or a RELEASE to it's previous release. Use macros so we can bump these
instead of bumping the numbers constantly.
Outstanding:
- I don't know what to do with rel-latest-previous since we're at a .0
currently, it should be whatever the reader should update to before they
update to 15.0. The jails chapter would benefit greatly from that.
- The syntax for escaping to use a macro inside of a code block is
still I can't figure it out... but other than that it's working well!

Add a macro defining the latest current RELEASE that people should use
for new deployments. This will improve consistency and save time bumping
version numbers in handbook examples, which has been suprisingly error
prone.
Jan Brankamp on the Production Users Call suggested we also define a
rel-previous macro. I do not need that yet, but note it here to inspire
future discussion.

The main branch is now 16.0-CURRENT; and we now have a 15.0-STABLE
branch.
We don't have 15.0-STABLE downloads quite yet but they should arrive
in the next week; I'd rather have some temporary 404s than forget to
add the 15.0-STABLE section later.

I switched the wrong beta-upcoming line from "INCLUDE" to "IGNORE",
resulting in the front page of the FreeBSD website listing 13.5 as
both released and upcoming while 14.3 was neither.

The website currently fails to render the macro and presents a confusing
"FreeBSD {rel142-current}-STABLE" and incorrect links.

Uncomment the 'helptest' section.
Notably, the armv6 release images are gone with the 14.0 release.
This section was kept up-to-date during the 13.2 release cycle by
dbaio@. I would be happy to do it this time around.
