Revise documentation of QUOTA and QUOTA2 options to make it clear that

these are FFS options. (QUOTA2 also works with mfs. AFAIK, traditional
quotas don't.)

Don't refer to QUOTA2 as "the new quotas format" as "new" is not a
good long-term identifier.

Also, don't xref half the quota utilities; there's no need to.

Enables kernel support for traditional quotas in FFS.
Traditional quotas store the quota information in external files and
require
.Xr quotacheck 8
and
.Xr quota 1
for details.
Note that quotas only work on
.Dq ffs
file systems, although
.Xr rpc.rquotad 8
permits them to be accessed over
.Em NFS .
.Xr quotaon 8

Traditional quotas are limited to 32-bit sizes and are at this point
considered a legacy feature.

Note that quota2 is only supported by

The quota information is file system metadata maintained by

for more information.
