bsdinstall.8: Minor maintenance

Browse source 
Replace CD-ROMs with "discs, USBs, or network boot environments"
to both modernize aesthetic and also nudge youths to think at scale.
Since I'm disrupting the flow of these lines anyway, expand the VM
acronym because I think this is one of the first manuals people will
be looking at.

Reset list alignment to seven characters. It was at 19 characters,
and that was not enough to align them all, wasting many extra lines
by crunching all the words over. Seven actually bought us some lines
from six due to avg item size. Tag SPDX.

MFC after:	3 days
Discussed with:	ivy, zi
