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.

Change a HYPHEN-MINUS (code 0x55, 2D) to a minus (\-), if in front of
1) a name of an option
2) a negative number to be printed.
See man-pages(7) [Debian package "manpages"].
The output from "nroff" is unchanged.

Add a comma (,) after "e.g." and "i.e.", or use English words
(man-pages(7) [package "manpages"]).
Abbreviation points should be protected (usually with the
non-printing, zero width character '\&') from being interpreted as an
end of sentence, if they are not, and that independent of their current
place on the line.
This is important when typing, as one does not usually know in
advance when the editor jumps to a new line.

The new command line option --bytes disables human readable output for
the SIZE and keep size in bytes. We use the same concept for all our
utils.

Transform some of them into copyright lines.
Also fix three header lines and snip some trailing whitespace.

As per the convention shown in Documentation/howto-man-page.txt.
Also make a few other tiny adjustments along the way.

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.

By knowing the lock's type (flock or posix), the user can have more
information about the lock and how it was created.
[kzak@redhat.com: - rename PERSONALITY to TYPE,
- rename ACCESS to MODE]
