fdisk: (man) correct the markup + punctuation of two option descriptions

Do not colorize 'dos' and 'cylinders' as if they were placeholders --
they are literal example values.

Also, use a semicolon where a comma will not do.  And remove three
redundant blank lines.

 //TRANSLATORS: Keep {plus} untranslated.
 The "last sector" dialog accepts partition size specified by number of sectors or by {plus}/-<size>{K,B,M,G,...} notation.
 
-
 //TRANSLATORS: Keep {plus} untranslated.
 If the size is prefixed by '{plus}' then it is interpreted as relative to the partition first sector. If the size is prefixed by '-' then it is interpreted as relative to the high limit (last available sector for the partition).
 
 In the case the size is specified in bytes, then the number may be followed by the multiplicative suffixes KiB (1024 bytes), MiB (1024*1024 bytes), and so on for GiB, TiB, PiB, EiB, ZiB and YiB. The "iB" is optional, e.g., "K" has the same meaning as "KiB".
 
-
 //TRANSLATORS: Keep {plus} untranslated.
 The relative sizes if specified with multiplicative suffixes (e.g. +100MiB) are always aligned according to device I/O limits. The {plus}/-<size>{K,B,M,G,...} notation is recommended.
