partx: support loop devices
Add support for loop devices to add partitions. For now we make use of the
max_part parameter from the loop kernel module, otherwise the feature is
disabled.
Below an example output:
root@offbook:~/projects/util-linux/partx# ./partx -a -n 1:5 images-pt/dos+bsd.img
root@offbook:~/projects/util-linux/partx# ls /dev/loop0* -ltr

docs: remove duplicated text
Duplicate text is dealt by referring to license files. The `pg'
command does not need separated license file because the source
file has same text at top of it.

whereis: search in path
Currently this tool only uses the hardcoded paths for looking up strings for
binaries, man pages and source code. Adding directories found in $PATH makes a
nice little enhancement to support a wider range of lookups.
This feature was also discussed previously here
(http://www.spinics.net/lists/util-linux-ng/msg03429.html)
This adds a welcome message with util-linux version number, information
about fdisk behaviour that doesn't write to disk after a command (unlike
gparted) and a warning about possible data loss.
The message appears just before the first command prompt.

docs: also uniformize headers and footers of troff-formatted man pages
Add two spaces as the required third argument of the date line to make
the specified date get used instead of today's date. Incorporate the
section number into the page title, then use an empty section number,
so that specifying an explicit section/volume name will work.

sfdisk: make some tests conditional to !Linux
This patch makes the following tests/actions conditional to "!Linux":
- Force cylinders as format instead of MB, even if user asked for MB.
This solves a bug where if you use "-L -uM", set 1 as starting MB
and the disk is larger than a certain size (about 1GB) the partition
would start at sector 1 instead of 1MB due to cyl rounding.
- Warn about partitions not starting/ending on cyl boundaries.
- Check if CHS is ok.
I used the "!Linux" notation since it was already used elsewhere in
the code.

chcpu: new tool
chcpu can modify the logical state of CPUs. It can enable and disable CPUs,
scan for new CPUs, change the CPU dispatching mode of the underlying
hypervisor and request (configure) or give logical CPUs back (deconfigure)
to the the underlying hypervisor.
This is quite useful if you work a lot with virtual servers, since doing all
the configuration stuff directly via sysfs becomes a pain.
docs: uniformize the header and footer lines in man pages
Use dates without the day, use the full month name, put "util-linux" in
the lower left corner, and "User Commands" or "System Administration"
at the top center.
Also improve here and there the one-line program description.
sfdisk: (man page) use comma between short and long option instead of "or"
Also fix some erratic formatting, indent the third example too, drop
the trailing % prompt in examples, add a blank line before and after,
and improve the wording here and there.
