TRACKEDINBUGTRAQ --> SUNBUG

[Mark Reinhold]

While drafting the new contribution process it occurred to me, again,
that most people outside of Sun won't know what "Bugtraq" is, though
people do generally know that Sun has a creaky, legacy, internal bug
database that's partly visible via bugs.sun.com.

I think we can make things clearer if we change the resolution value
currently called "TRACKEDINBUGTRAQ" to "SUNBUG", and revise its
description as follows:

    The problem is a duplicate of an existing bug that is being tracked
    only in Sun's internal bug database at this time.  When resolving
    a bug in this manner please add the string "sunbug=1234567" to the
    whiteboard, replacing "1234567" with the actual seven-digit Sun
    bug id.

Make sense?

Hi Mark,

I can see your point.  I'm not liking "SUNBUG" a lot better, but absent
anything better, we can use it.  I'm not tied to TRACKEDINBUGTRAQ, other
than the fact that that's what the OpenSolaris folks were using and
would make the bridge a little bit easier.

I did a bit of surgery on the description, but it's done and rolled out.

Actually, the OpenSolaris Bugzilla uses "TRACKEDINBUGSTER", which is
even more confusing since "Bugster" is the name of just one of the
Bugtraq client UIs rather than the database itself.  Whatever ...
