99370de066 According to most other OSes and documentation sources, an MBR has
one "extended" partition and the partitions inside that are "logical"
partitions.  Make fdisk(8) man page follow suit.

Patch from Julian Fagir in PR#45695.

fcf4b7e0c1 Remove fdisk/mbr for macppc which was blindly pulled from OpenBSD.
It just fakes MBR partition map which contains 1MB FAT16B partition
and ~1GB OpenBSD partition, and we can always create necessary
MBR partitions for OpenFirmware by the fdisk(8) command itself.

ae75a5cdbe This program is a host tool, so when we use newfangled C features like
PRIxyz we have to ensure it still builds on hosts with Old compilers.
