FRIGN e3b20bbda0 Refactor fallocate(1)
1) Simplify the manpage. Just refer to fallocate(2) and stop trying
   to list supported file systems. This can change and everbody
   with common sense can bring up the relevant manpages of a given
   operating system himself.
   Use the num-semantics.
2) Use estrtonum() instead of estrtol().
3) Allow multiple arguments.
