msdosfs created on FreeBSD/arm would not be mountable.

- C99 initializers.
- Change the default volume label from "NO NAME" to "NO_NAME".
- Set OEM String to "BSD4.4 " following the unnamed spacing convention
in that other OS that suggests "MSWIN4.1"
Also, David Naylor's changes for Clang, mostly changing the signess
of constants.

fstat(fd, &sb) was not executed unconditionally anymore so sb was read

Either use parameters provided by user or make them up.
The code for faking CHS params is borrowed from disklabel code.
The logic for using user-provided and auto-guessed parameters is not
perfect, so to speak.

when preparing images for emulators or flash devices:
+ option '-C size' to create the underlying image file with given size.
Saves doing a 'dd' before, and especially it creates a sparse file
+ option '-@ offset' to build the FAT image at the specified offset
in the image file or device;
+ make the cluster size adaptive on the filesystem size.
Previously the default was 4k which is really unconvenient with
large media; now it goes from 512 bytes to 32k depending on
filesystem size (i still need to check whether it makes sense
to go further up, to 64k or above);
+ fix default geometry when not specified on the command line,
use 63 sectors/255 heads by default.
Also trim the size so it exactly a multiple of a track, to avoid
complaints in some filesystem code.
+ document all the above, plus some manual page clarifications.

a plain file and a geometry is not explicitly supplied through
command line or disktab entry.
This way you can a FAT image on a file as simply as this:
newfs_msdos ./some/file
(right now you need a much longer command
newfs_msdos -h 32 -u 64 -S 512 -s $total_blocks -o 0 ./some/file
Will be merged after 7.1 and 6.4 are released.

correct place on large sector disks. The boot signature should be at
offset 0x1fe in the BPB; newfs_msdos currently stores it 2 bytes from
the end of the sector.

- Initialize everything in the struct array, not only the mentioned
ones
- Unconditionally initialize hs to 0 to avoid repeatly doing so
- Cast to unsigned int when comparing to unsigned variables.
getdiskinfo(). For the fixed-disk case, bpb->hid probably isn't
handled correctly, but I'm not sure if this is a serious problem since
the primary use of this program is to format floppy disks.
