Conrad Meyer 2a1fb74048 touch.1: Update to conform to POSIX 2004
POSIX borrowed the "double leap second" bug from C89.  Double leap seconds can
never happen.  This mistake was present in at least POSIX 1997 and fixed by
POSIX 2004.  I can't find a copy of 2001 online to determine if the bug was
present in that revision.

While here, remove duplicate language between -d and -t.  A few other minor
enhancements and an igor (lint) bugfix.
