Reduce usage of predefined strings in manpages.

Predefined strings are not very portable across troff implementations,
and they make the source much harder to read. Usually the intended
character can be written directly.

No output changes, except for two instances where the incorrect escape
was used in the first place.

saying that -b and -l create smaller files can be misleading - the author
was probably thinking of the fact that files created would be smaller than
the original file split; instead, just say that they create files.

this comes from freebsd pr#119329, submitted by Julian Stacey.
his fix was to introduce the notion of "split files", but the idea of
"create split files" can be just as confusing, so i've gone with removing
the original, ambiguous, adjective.

- use a consistent text for STANDARDS
- note which options are extensions to POSIX

+.Xr csplit 1 ,

Add -a option as per single unix. Rewrote the code to generate
file names to be less blecherous, though it is still not pretty.
OK beck@, with man page help from jmc@

Initial idea from aaron@: Last char of .Xr group in SEE ALSO section should
be a single digit. Powered by mantoya@.

millert@ ok.

- Section shuffling: comply to the section ordering outlined in mdoc(7).
- Some .Nm trimming.
- .Sh AUTHOR -> .Sh AUTHORS
- Other miscellaneous fixes here and there.

Various cleanups and standardizations.

- remove trailing white space
- remove arguments from .Os macros
- remove arguments from .Nm macros, where appropriate
- some more Dq/Sq/Ql insanity
- still lots to do in the usr.bin tree... :/
