HEADSUP: bsdlabel/disklabel changes

The commit below selects the new "bsdlabel" program instead of the
old disklabel program.  This hopefully makes the partitioning
process more intuitive on BSD label platforms.

The hightlights are:

    * All the "historical" fields are hidden and handled automatically
      unless -A argument given.  You should practically never need -A.

    * -r argument ignored (to keep scripts working).  The "raw"
      functionality is automatically activated where necessary.

    * default type for -w is "auto".  You can now put a label on a disk
      simply with "disklabel -w /dev/ad0"

Please check the man-page, I have updated it to reflect current reality.

Improvements to both program and manual page are most welcome.

Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
