Update find(1) man page for -L/-delete interaction.
It is a bit unfortunate that the example to delete broken symlinks now uses rm(1), but allowing this with -delete would require fixing fts(3) to not imply FTS_NOCHDIR if FTS_LOGICAL is given (or hacks in the -delete option). PR: bin/90687 MFC after: 2 weeks
