mdoc: fix column names, indentation, column separation within each row, and quotation. Also make sure we have the same amount of columns in each row as the number of columns we specify in the head arguments.

Major overhaul of sunlabel(8).
. Implement option -c, all partition sizes will be calculated in cylinders as opposed to sectors. Since the Sun label is inherently cylinder-based, this makes the job a little easier.
. Implement option -h, print the label in `human readable' size/offset format.
. Implement SVR4-compatible VTOC-style elements. They are fully optional, defaulting to the current behaviour where no VTOC-style table will be written to disk. However, if desired, the full functionality of the partitioning menu of Solaris' format(1m) is now offered (and even more).
. When editing the label, do not loop around edit_label() where a new template file is generated for each turn, this used to be annoying in that any possible syntax error caused a complaint, but then the template was created anew, so the user had to perform all their editing again. Rather loop inside edit_label(), similar to bsdlabel(8), so in case of errors, the user will be presented their previous template file again.
. If VTOC-style elements are present, the overlap checks are made less stringent. Overlaps will still be warned about, but overlaps of `unmountable' partitions against other ones are no longer fatal. That way, e. g. VxVM encapsulated disk labels can be fully edited in FreeBSD (but not in Solaris ;-).
. In print_label(), generate the editing hints only if the -e flag is in effect. Additionally, print a hint about the total number of sectors in the (hardware) medium.
. When editing a label, allow for changing the geometry emulation (and textual name) by modifying the "text:" line on top. That way, a more effective emulation can be chosen.
. When editing/reading a label, additionally allow for the suffixes `s' (512-byte sectors), and `c' (cylinders) in the partition size field.
. Finally, turn the stub man page into something that really explains the entire thing.
