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.
