Document the history of fdisk based on the original post to comp.unix.bsd by Julian Elischer [1] and the Mach 2.5 Installation notes [2].

Browse Source 
I was unable to pin point the exact version of Mach the fdisk utility appeared as I could not find documentation older than version 2.5 & no source code or repo history.
fdisk utility appears as a separate utility[3] in v2.5. Due to this, I have avoided stating the exact version fdisk first appeared in Mach.
Add authors section.
