Fix fallocate(1) manpage To be honest, I had a little misunderstanding of the fallocate(1)- utility. It turns out that it only adds preallocated space if the length exceeds the size of an already existing file. No truncation happens. Thus, I fixed the wording accordingly.

.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Nm
Refactor fallocate(1) 1) Simplify the manpage. Just refer to fallocate(2) and stop trying to list supported file systems. This can change and everbody with common sense can bring up the relevant manpages of a given operating system himself. Use the num-semantics. 2) Use estrtonum() instead of estrtol(). 3) Allow multiple arguments.
