intro.5: Add local to files, minor maintenence
New users are sometimes confused about the difference between /etc/ and
/usr/local/etc. Explain this in the manual as we did in intro(1). Link
hier(7) which now lists base system configuration files in /etc/. Add a
section number to HISTORY for clarity.
