Correct the definition of the multilabel flag: it enables multilabel
MAC support on the file system, if supported, which causes MAC to treat each object as having its own label, rather than using a single label for all objects on the file system. This doesn't have to be used in combination with the tunefs/newfs flags -- it's an alternative.
