remove extra comma from .Dd arguments: "Month ##, ####" is the correct format,
not "Month, ##, ####"

change some .Em/.Va to .Li, looks nicer

After some constructive criticism from pjanzen@ and some e-mail tag:

- only use the .Dv NULL form when referring explicitly to a function
argument or return value
- otherwise, use these forms:
o non-null
o null-terminated (hyphenated form for predicate adjective)
o else, null terminated, or null terminate, whichever the case
o null pointer, null byte, null string, etc.
- may use NUL to refer to an ASCII NUL, but it doesn't need a .Tn macro

In general, capitalizing the word "null" everywhere is unnecessary and makes
the man pages harder to read. The above is consistent with popular programming
texts (i.e., K&R, Stevens).

use \-1, not -1, to change the meaning of `-' to minus sign from hyphen;

repairs; go back over some old files, because we should properly distinguish
between NUL and NULL, i.e., don't use the .Dv (defined variable) macro when
referring to an ASCII NUL

use Bx macro for BSD versions
