Add switch between X and Console in section 4.2.1 of the handbook

The section 4.2.1 in https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/consoles.html does not mention how to change from graphical environment to a console and back. The attached patch adds this information.

I've added a note to the Handbook-- thanks for reporting this as it used to confuse me when I first started out too!
