quarterly: Relabel "old" package sets as "non-current"
The point is that the sets for pkgsrc-current or NetBSD-current do not
meet the "ok to be on server" rules, but not because they are old.
These rules describe what is allowed to be on the server, and old is
part of it, so deemphasize that. No change in policy (and hence not
discussed); just avoiding misreading.

quarterly: Update example of current version of NetBSD
This was written when 9 was maintained; update the 'eg' text to refer
to 10 and 11, to avoid confusing people. No semantic change intended.

Update the pkgin search/install to 2024Q4 results
Now there are much more nginx related packages, show the first of
them - including nginx and nginx-devel - and omit the rest for
space reasons.
Also adjust the `pkgin install` command, the PKGBASE is nginx.

Switch PKG_PATH to https
With NetBSD 10.0 and newer it should work out of the box and we should probably
focus this quick note / example to folks running it.
While here also references 10.x instead of 9.x in the example.

pkgdb-change: Fix nit in email, drop claim of future improvements
The split-brain email referred to /usr/pkg/pkgdb when it should have
said /usr/pkg/pkgdb.refcount in section 7.
Stop claiming that the script will likely be updated to deal with not
finding the refcount directory. Not only am I almost certainly not
going to do this, but I now think it's a bad idea; not finding
something is not a reliable indicator of being in an ok state without
refcount, and making the user figure it out and create and empty
directory is much safer.
