Some doc-orientated digging yesterday.

<https://github.com/search?q=repo%3Afreebsd%2Ffreebsd-doc+%220-alpha1%22+language%3ATOML&type=code> 
(10 and 15 alone) confused me, because 10 was before my time but I do 
remember a past alpha.

Seeking 0-alpha in 
<https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/porters-handbook/versions/> finds 
13.0-ALPHA3 alone.

Over to the src tree, 
<https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/log/?h=releng%2F13.0&qt=grep&q=alpha1> 
satisfied my curiosity.
