More man page updates for 1.6 release for Xorg, xorg.conf & exa man pages.
- Remove remaining references to XFree86-Misc options AllowNonLocalModInDev and DisableModInDev. - Remove remaining references to grab-breaking keys & associated options. - Update description of Ctrl-Alt-Backspace to new -retro/DontZap defaults. - Add description of new options -modalias and -showopts. - Update list of modules loaded by default. - Update input driver references from keyboard to evdev & kbd. - Update list of driver man pages to match xf86-*-* drivers with man pages. - Add See Also section to exa man page. and various formatting/typo/etc. fixes. The Xorg/xorg.conf sections on input device selection could use further updates to better match the current state of HAL-enabled configuration.
