[v2,0/7] multipath-tools man pages: add missing information

This patchset is inspired by:
https://lore.kernel.org/dm-devel/[e-mail]/

It removes the useless pathgroup wildcards section from the "show
wildcards" output and adds wildcards descriptions to the multipathd.8
man page, along with some issing multipathd commands.  In the process of
doing this, I noticed some instances where either the man page or
multipathd wasn't giving the correct information, and fixed those up.

Changes in V2 (based on comments by Martin Wilck):
0003: change print format from "%i" to "deferred:%i"
0007: Multiple man page changes. I left the order the same as shown in
      "multipathd show wildcards", since it doesn't seem like an
      alphabetic order makes more sense. Also, I'm not really sure what
      to call the H and T members of the NVMe %i (H:C:I:L) output.
      I ended up calling them Controller and Namspace Instance Numbers
      based on their in-kernel variable names. But if there is a
      better name, I'd happily use that.
