bcr closed D50603: Use ada device names in ZFS handbook chapter instead of legacy da or ad .

The original bug has been closed in the meantime, due to the rewrite of the OpenZFS chapter.
There is only mention of ada in that chapter. At one point, there is mention that older disks use different names, but the rest of the chapter uses ada0, dada1, ... in the examples consistently.

We can't make changes to past release notes once they are published. They become part of the release hash and would change in a number of places that reference them (even if they contain typos).

Is there more work on this to come @felix.the.red_gmail.com ? We would really like to see this man page in FreeBSD.
