Harmonize MAKEDEV.8 manpages, and provide one for arches still lacking it.
Remove bogus/obsolete information in the way (hello, hp300 MAKEDEV.8!) This has been lying for a long time in my tree, but much more work will be needed until these pages are complete - watch out for more m4 madness to generate them in the future.

+.Ar all
+creates device files for all devices on the alpha.
+If units are expected for a device,
+.Nm MAKEDEV
+will supply the standard numbers.
+The
+.Ar std
+argument creates only the standard devices for the alpha.
+Finally
+.Ar local
+is for devices specific to the local site, and executes the shell file
+.Pa MAKEDEV.local .
+.Pp
