udev likes to get information about a device as key=value pairs so it
can create disk/by-id links etc. So add --export flag which causes
the output of --detail to easily parsable.

nroff formats "-" as the very short hyphen used for hyphenated terms
and for splitting a word across two lines. When you want a literal
ASCII "-", like for typing on a command line, you're supposed to use
"\-" instead.
Yeah, it sounds pedantic, but it actually makes a difference. With
modern Unicode-capable terminals, "man" actually renders these with
different characters, so if you try to search for "--create" in your
favorite pager, you won't find it unless the nroff source says
"\-\-create". This discrepancy doesn't generally show up with
non-Unicode terminals.

Option names and example command lines seem to be boldface most of the
time, fix up the few that weren't.

\(em renders as "--" in ASCII, and a nice em dash (i.e., a dash the
width of the letter "m") in more capable formats like PostScript.

This is already mentioned in the config documentation, but not in the
place when the normal default is mentioned.

Use to avoid starting arrays if there are
fewer devices available than last time the array was started.
This is only needed with --scan, as with --scan, that behaviour
is the default.

When creating a file bitmap, choose a default size that
results in fewer than 2^21 chunks. Without this kmalloc
failure in the kernel becomes likely.

mdadm.8 improved (I hope).
Rearrange some option documentation and add --backup-file, and other
general improvements.
