* rename flags functions to scols_table_enable_*
* rename *_no_foo() functions to _nofoo()
* output formats are mutually exclusive, so don't use flags there
* don't assume symbols in scols_new_table(), use scols_table_set_symbols()

partx --update DEVICE NUMBER
was broken in 2 cases:
* if NUMBER != 1
* if the partition table was "out of order".
Ie, where sda2 came after sda3.

Properly describing the partition type, using a verb instead of a noun,
putting the blank line after the command options, and using the correct

The fact that -l, --list is deprecated will remain in manual page till
unforeseeable future. Meanwhile the usage() can be made shorter.
