handbook: Split off HTTP mirrors into a separate section
Web browsers are deprecating support for FTP; thus, having
an interleaved list of FTP and HTTP links isn’t particularly
user-friendly.
Note that there is another list of mirrors in the "eresources"
chapter, but let's clean up this one first; I also have a followup
patch that cleans up rsync.

+== FTP Sites
+
+In addition to HTTP mirrors, FreeBSD is available via anonymous FTP from the following sites.
When obtaining FreeBSD via anonymous FTP, please try to use a nearby site.
The mirror sites listed as "Primary Mirror Sites" typically have the entire FreeBSD archive (all the currently available versions for each of the architectures) but faster download speeds are probably available from a site that is in your country or region.
The regional sites carry the most recent versions for the most popular architecture(s) but might not carry the entire FreeBSD archive.
