Clean up man page sections.

Instead of pointing to an "ethers" file-format man page for the format
of MAC addresses, just give the formats we support in the man page -
it's our code, so we, not the OS vendor, control the formats.

Default the section with usermod to section 8, as Solaris 2.12 isn't out
yet.
