9837059561 Allow mknod(8) to be only invoked with a pathname as an argument.
In 99% of the cases people just want to recreate device nodes they
removed from /dev. There is no reason to pass the additional "c 0 0"
anymore.

Also slightly improve the manpage. Remove references to non-existent
device names and platforms.

f1ad80a38f Refer people looking to figure out what major to use for a device to
MAKEDEV and sys/conf/majors, not sys/conf/device.<arch>, which has
never existed in the history of FreeBSD (well, at least it isn't in
the repository).

ff1f324516 Remove single-space hard sentence breaks. These degrade the quality
of the typeset output, tend to make diffs harder to read and provide
bad examples for new-comers to mdoc.

f614e0ccf6 Add chown(8)-like functionality. This will allow us to not use chown(8)
in MAKEDEV(8) -- removing the need of having /usr mounted.
