5a82980632 docs: (man) remove double quotes (") in .SH lines
Using double quotes in .SH lines containing multiple words is unneeded,
and in any case is not consistently done in the util-linux manual pages,
where double quotes are used in only around half of the cases.
(This usage was long ago elminated in the man-pages project, with
no ill effects reported to date.)

Remove these quotes, so that .SH lines are more uniform, in preparation
for some (more easily) scripted doiscovery of consistency problems in
(and possibly global fixes to) the manual pages.

Other than stripping the double quotes, this patch makes no changes to
the content of the manual pages.

66083665d5 standard SEE ALSO section of man pages
The standard format is to seperate each entry with a comma, and
for each one to be on a line by itself.  Most util-linux pages
follow this, but a few do not.

232dc924c4 docs: uniformize the header and footer lines in man pages
Use dates without the day, use the full month name, put "util-linux" in
the lower left corner, and "User Commands" or "System Administration"
at the top center.

Also improve here and there the one-line program description.
