Remove comments about not being able to unload from the command line.
Add another example configuration output.
Clarify when to use 'vinum start' and when to use 'vinum read'.
When creating a new drive, if the drive already has a vinum label,
and name doesn't match the specified drive, do it anyway if the
'force' flag is specified.

*should* be of type 'vinum', but currently we still accept (and
complain about) partitions of type 'unused'. At a later date, only
'vinum' will be accepted.

Modify description of start command to include 'start' with no
parameters, which reads the config from all drives found on the
system.
- Comment out the description of the unimplemented replace command
- Explain in even stronger language that resetconfig is not for
everyday use

- Correct the description of the start command (no longer used to
start vinum, just specific objects)
Motivated by: dg
- Remove .TH N commands, which conflict badly with the doc macros,
causing strange headings in nroff output and endless loops in troff.
The current version produces warning messages with some screen
sizes, and will be fixed when I have time.
