Dropped "-f" format flag for pidof command as it

could be used to print information from memory or crash
pidof. Replaced flag with "-d" which allows for a custom
separator to be used between listed PIDs.

* Fixed various typos and control codes in manual pages.
Patch provided by Bjarni Ingi Gislason.
* Patched pidof so that the -f flag does not print memory information
from the stack when passed a specially crafted format string.
Also prevent segfault when "%s" is used in a format string.
Special characters for the format string can be found in the man
page for pidof.

.IP \-x
Scripts too - this causes the program to also return process id's of
shells running the named scripts.
.IP "-d \fIsep\fP"
Tells \fIpidof\fP to use \fIsep\fP as an output separator if more than one PID
is shown. The default separator is a space.
.IP "-o \fIomitpid\fP"
Tells \fIpidof\fP to omit processes with that process id. The special
pid \fB%PPID\fP can be used to name the parent process of the \fIpidof\fP
program, in other words the calling shell or shell script.
.IP "-f \fIformat\fP"
Tells \fIpidof\fP to format the process IDs in the given \fIprintf\fP style string.
For example \fB" -p%d"\fP is useful for \fIstrace\fP.
The "%d" symbol is used as a place holder for the PID to be printed. A "\\n" can
be used to cause a newline to be printed. For example \fB" %d\\n"\fP.
