David E. O'Brien 747b64b167 Added to MNT_FORCE option description after seeing Bruce's commit message
dealing w/the fixit floppy.
Also added the MNT_RELOAD, MNT_WANTRDWR, MNT_ASYNC, MNT_NOATIME,
MOUNT_UNION flags.  Someone might want to check my description of MNT_RELOAD.

2.2-R candidate.  Not a 2.1.6-R candidate -- some current flags aren't in
2.1.5-R's version.
