        src/usr.bin/stat: stat.1 stat.c

Log Message:
Some corrections to stat to make it more reasonable, and comply with
the man page, in particular, in one of the EXAMPLES it is claimed:

     This example produces output very similar to that from find ... -ls
     (except that find(1) displays the time in a different format, and find(1)
     sometimes adds one or more spaces after the comma in “major,minor” for
     device nodes):

and then uses %9Z in the format, but conveniently does not use a
device file to demonstrate.

If it had, the result would have been:

   8033      0 brw-r-----    1 root              operator                  4,       51 Jun  8 02:44:45 2022 /dev/sd3

Note the spaces which were claimed to exist (sometimes) in find(1) output
but not with stat.   Oops.

Omitting those spaces seems like a good idea, so does using the same
field width for the result in both cases, rather than producing 9 chars
in the ordinary file case, and 19 (2 * 9 + 1) in the device case (for %9Z).

Now we will get:

   8033      0 brw-r-----    1 root              operator             4,51   Jun  8 02:44:45 2022 /dev/sd3

While here, also make the file number (%@) when reading stdin be 0, it is
not the 1st file in the arg list.

Some (very minor) KNF applied at the same time.

In stat.1 make these changes explicit.
