Subject: [PATCH 4/4] improve man pages and some warnings.

Checking for warnings: mandoc -Tlint *.1

- Swap .St -p1003.1-2013 macro with text:
  mdoc does not support this macro and some texts were changed, like commit
  d4dfd42d3580ad36bedfdc5b8924ff6683981f53
- Typo fixes:
  exeption -> exception.
- xargs.1: document -P extension.
- sed.1: remove use of .Pp of .Ss.
- Wrap lines to less than 80 characters and use a new sentence for each line.
- find.1: Xr reference C library functions.
