pax.1 & tar.1: add a minor clarification about "-s"
...
As a somewhat pedantic clarification, "-s" does not accept backslashes
as delimiters. (While here, also make the macro use of an expression
shared between pax.1 and tar.1 consistent.)

pax.1: document the "s" flag of the "s" option
...
Note the "s" option has an "s" flag that "prevents substitutions from
being performed on symbolic link destinations". Carry over r. 1.25 from
christos@ and part of r. 1.26 from wiz@ from tar.1, since this
functionality is available in pax as well as tar.

Implement -M flag: During a write or copy operation, treat the list of
...
files on standard input as an mtree(8) `specfile' specification, and
write or copy only those items in the specfile.
If the file exists in the underlying file system, its permissions and
modification time will be used unless specifically overridden by the
specfile. An error will be raised if the type of entry in the specfile
conflicts with that of an existing file.
Otherwise, it is necessary to specify at least the following parameters
in the specfile: type, mode, gname or gid, and uname or uid, device
(in the case of block or character devices), and link (in the case of
symbolic links). If time isn't provided, the current time will be used.
