Summary

https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/boot/#boot-introduction mentions GRUB. Some readers will wonder why things such as installers for FreeBSD are not suitably GRUB-aware; and why there's so little FreeBSD-provided documentation about GRUB.

Add a note, directing users of GRUB to GNU-provided documentation.

Case correction: GRUB should be uppercase.

Elsewhere in the page: a minor correction, superfluous space before a colon.

Trailing whitespace error not visible in Phabricator.

Trailing whitespace error – not visible in Phabricator – caught with a first run of git-apply(1).

It'll be impossible for me to break the decades-long habit of intentionally adding white space, I'll sometimes forget to remove what's required for diff purposes. Sorry.

Fixed prior to push, notes to self at https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-doc/pull/87#issuecomment-1256883300.
