This wipes the MBR and creates slice 1 as a FreeBSD slice covering the
disk starting from the second track to the cylinder aligned end of the disk.
This is the most compatibly layout we have as far as I know.
the boot code from /boot/mbr, or elsewhere as defined by the revised
"-b bootcode" option; use getopt(3); clarify usage(); partially
revise man page; etc.
"nowin95" as arguments to the "-o" flag, as alternatives to "-G", "-s",
"-l", and "-9"; when running "mount_msdos" by hand, that doesn't let you
do anything you couldn't already do, but if you're letting "mount" run
it, it lets you specify those options, which is especially useful if,
for example, you have an entry in "/etc/fstab" for some file system,
with "noauto" set, so you can conveniently mount a DOS partition from a
removable drive and force it to treat the file system as VFAT rather
than boring old FAT.

I don't have access to a BSD/OS machine to check the veracity of the
magic number. However, no harm will be done by the commit and since
someone was motivated enough to file a PR, I'm committing the change.

Add "." at the end of some sentances.
Also print "flag 80" in English.
Give hint that "sysid" for FreeBSD is 165 decimal.
Ensure active partition specified by user is 1-4.
permissions centrally and a setuid root mount utility just breaks
its security. There was no new breakage in practice because
mfdosfs_mount() still checks the ruid.
plain 0 should be used. This happens to work because we #define
NULL to 0, but is stylistically wrong and can cause problems
for people trying to port bits of code to other environments.

Any existing config files (using the -f option) will need
to be changed although using the old files will usually result
in an error (partition 0 is invalid).
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
