    nvmecontrol: Flesh out nvmecontrol format information
    
    The format command takes a number of different parameters. Include a
    brief summary of what the values mean, though since the driver's support
    for metadata is at best weak, 0's are almost always used for values
    other than -f format. Add an example that ties it all together.
