Jan Kara 1eeddf2527 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outdated man-pages quotactl.2 page and the quotactl.2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.

Michael Kerrisk 14f1e036e1 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.
