[PATCH 08/19] mkfs: getbool is redundant

Remove manpage changes, tidy others
Tidy up the grammar a little in the boolean args description.
Remove extra text around the noalign option.
It's fine that the noalign option now takes an optional
boolean 0/1 argument, but I don't think we need to document
it in the manpage. If someone happens to add "=1" and it works,
they'll just be pleasantly surprised.
