Several documentation fixups related to device minor/major numbers:
- Document the minor(3), major(3) and makedev(3) macro's. They also
apply to umajor() and uminor() in the kernel, but hopefully we'll sort
that out one day.
- Briefly dev2unit() inside the make_dev(9) manual page, since this is
now the preferred macro to obtain character device unit numbers inside
the kernel.
- Remove the device_ids(9) manual page. It contains highly inaccurate
information, such as a description of the nonexistent major().
