Mark kgmon(8) obsolete, redirecting users to pmcstat(8).
It isn't obsolete. pmcstat can't do at least full (non-statistical)
call graphs and high-resolution profiling.

Thanks. Based on your arguments (and on the fact that I've tried
again to use it, following instructions from the URL below[1], and
this time it actually worked), I think I'll revert this commit,
and just add an ".Xr pmcstat 8" instead.
Thanks.

This is very basic (only the about confinguration), but that makes it short
enough to put in a section 4 man page or just in kgdb(8). I don't know of
any tutorial for how to use either kgmon or pmcstat.
