Greetings!

In bin/15897 Ryo HAYASAKA provides a solution for "damaged" fdformat(1)
output (see details in PR). I have a bit alternate patch for this -
fdformat will print the formatting position, and in case if error
occurs, it will explain the problem and jump to next line. Some example
output will looks like this:

nostromo# ./fdformat
Ready to format /dev/rfd0a with 80 cylinders, 2 tracks, 18 sectors of 512 bytes
(1440 KB) Yes/no [y]?
Formatting track 5 / head 0 - VERIFY ERROR
Formatting track 6 / head 0 - VERIFY ERROR
Formatting track 20 / head 0 - IO ERROR
Formatting track 20 / head 1 - IO ERROR
Formatting track 21 / head 0 - IO ERROR
Formatting track 79 / head 1 (all done)
fdformat: 5 track formatting errors

The tracks 5 and 6 on head 0 have a real errors, and the rest errors
was manualy generated by ejecting floppy from FDD.

The "features" of this:
- works in generic way (\n, \r, etc.)
- more informative than standard fdformat
- no need to cross over theterminal line boundary (for not too narrow
  terminals)
- bit shorten than current implementation

The patch applies to fdformat.c revision 1.12.

Any objections, please?
