1) Minor nits in the usage message from bde. I took out the hard tabs and
used spaces to align the second line under the program name.
2) Cache uid after call to setuid(getuid()) so we don't waste a system call
for each packet with a call to getuid for the -v case.
3) Update manual to reflect new restriction on -l from last delta.
Suggested by: bde, Bill Fenner
