Additions to slattach.8 and sliplogin.8 Manpages

[Dan Plassche <dplassche%gmail.com@localhost>]

Hi,

I would like to suggest some additions to the slattach and sliplogin 
manpages after recently working on setting up a SLIP connection on the 
tech-users mailing list.

Please see the diffs below from the manuals in HEAD.  The sliplogin.8 
manual includes the recent addition of /usr/src/usr.sbin/slip.login 
script to /usr/share/examples/slip/slip.login on November 9 
(http://mail-index.netbsd.org/source-changes/2018/11/09/msg100476.html).
