7d3e5fc5f4 Add new function dumpconfig: dump the configuration information
directly off the drives.

This command shows a minor problem: it requires that the device nodes
exist, whereas kernel Vinum does not.  Thus dumpconfig may show no
configuration for certain drives which are up and happily running.
This is documented in the man page.

Continually-tripped-over-by:  Karl Pielorz <kpielorz@tdx.co.uk>

Update information about partition type for Vinum drives.  They
*should* be of type 'vinum', but currently we still accept (and
complain about) partitions of type 'unused'.  At a later date, only
'vinum' will be accepted.

a5d5588506 - Format corrections for troff output
- Comment out the description of the unimplemented replace command
- Explain in even stronger language that resetconfig is not for
  everyday use

  Motivated by:  Marko Schütz <marko@ki.informatik.uni-frankfurt.de>

- Correct the description of the start command (no longer used to
  start vinum, just specific objects)

  Motivated by: dg

- Remove .TH N commands, which conflict badly with the doc macros,
  causing strange headings in nroff output and endless loops in troff.
  The current version produces warning messages with some screen
  sizes, and will be fixed when I have time.

  Bug-report: docs/9328 (nroff)
  Reported-by: joerg (troff)

- Add gotcha info for the setupstate keyword and the use of label and
  resetconfig.

- Add bug entry for the warning messages introduced by fixing
  docs/9328.
