Three minor changes to the manpage of chmod(1).

  1. At the description of -H option, I added that symlinks are
  not followed _by default_ to show that links can be followed,
  but the default chmod behavior is not to do so.

  2. Moved a misplaced .Va file command up to the place it belongs.

  3. Simplified the grammar that describes symbolic modes.
