quotactl.2: Major updates
...
Update the page to consolidate information from the
outdated man-pages quotactl.2 page and the quotactl.2
page in the "quota-tools" pachage. The page in "quota-tools"
has now been dropped by Jan Kara, so that there is just one
canonical quotactl.2 page (in pan-pages).
Various other pieces added to the page by mtk.

getrusage.2: Replace text describing unused fields
...
An earlier patch attempted to describe how the unused rusage
fields are used on other systems. But, Mark Hills notes that
that is likely to cause confusion. So, replace that text with
a general statement about why the unused fields are present.

getline.3: Remove unneeded check before free()

The manpage of getline shows an example with an extra NULL pointer check
before it calls free. This is unneeded according to free(3):
If ptr is NULL, no operation is performed.
This patch removes the "if" check.
