dead link fix

On the page https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/developers-handbook/x86-fpu.html the link that leads to " Richard Startz' 8087/80287/80387 for the IBM PC & Compatibles " is dead and displays an internal server error.

Hello Ian,

Amazon still has this book:

https://www.amazon.com/80287-I-B-M-Personal-Computer-Compatibles/dp/013246604X

We need just replace the dead link with it perhaps.
Comment 2 Sevan Janiyan freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2017-04-03 19:59:20 UTC 
The link originally to the cgi script redirected to http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/013246604X/whizkidtechnomag
Will get that replaced.

New revision: 50127
URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/doc/50127

Log:
  We point to broken CGI script which redirects to Amazon if working.
  Replace link with the target Amazon URL visitor would be redirected to normally.
