Log:
  MFC r340649:
  Add a fortune describing how to upload a machine's dmesg information to the
  NYCBUG database.
  
  We want to encourage our users to upload their dmesgs so that the project can
  get a better insight into what kind of hardware is run on. This helps in making
  data-driven decisions about i.e., platform and driver support.
  
  Note that dmesgs may contain sensitive information like hardware serial numbers,
  hence uploading them without review is discouraged.
