    truncate.1: improve the example section
    
    Notably:
     * spell "Megabytes" as "megabytes" consistently;
     * remove a stray asterisk from the /boot/kernel/kernel listing
     * avoid using a shell prompt in the examples consistently
     * fixes the size parameter
     * add an example how to increase the file size
