   Document COMPAT_AOUT option.
   This closes PR misc/13819


could this be fleshed out to include that COMPAT_AOUT is _NOT_ required
to run a.out binaries and that doing so may have extremely undesirable
effects.  it is a deprecated interface that actually is harmful to system
binaries.  ie, "cd /usr" in an a.out shell ends up in "/emul/aout/usr".
prior netbsd a.out platforms have better methods of acheiving this...
COMPAT_AOUT would have been removed except for a couple of vocal
objections...  it may even be those objections are no longer strenuous
enough infact :-)
