paxctl(8): it is not a bug that paxctl settings are persistent.

Nor is it a bug that they're applied to the file rather than stored in
some magic secret database where they survive reinstalls, which the
prior wording seems to suggest was the eventual intention.

It is worth noting that they change the target file, so still say that.

paxctl(8): Introduce -0 option to clear all PaX flag bits in ELF note.
Part of PR toolchain/52675

crunchgen(1): Clear PaX flags instead of removing its ELF note section.
The latter results in zero-filled hole in ELF note segment for EARM,
where PaX section is not located the bottom of that segment (see
src/lib/csu/sysident.S). Fortunately, this hole does not cause real
harms for our in-kernel ELF note parser, except for noisy warnings on
DIAGNOSTIC kernels.

Bump CRUNCH_VERSION.

PR toolchain/52675

Use Fl for options.

paxctl(8): brush up

Tell the user how to list flags right away, not at the very end.

Do not repeat "for the program" 6 times for each flag letter, it's a
noise by itself already and the italics of .Ar program exacerbates it.

Make the list of flags compact but manually add breaks between the
pairs of enable/disable flags.

paxctl(8): fix markup

Use Fl for options.

Add Christos to the AUTHORS section.

There's no use for the '-l' flag, so don't document it. Viewing PaX flags
is done by issuing "paxctl file" with no flags, so note that it the
man-page instead.

Document ASLR

We should be able to operate on more than one file, like other unix tools.

Never use "utilize".  It means exactly the same thing as "use", but it
is longer and more cumbersome. It can always be replaced with "use"
without any change in meaning.

Sort sections. Use Po/Pc to avoid weird Xr arguments.

it is segvguard.

Say that Servguard will use fileassoc in the future. From Elad.
