[PATCH 7/8] lastlog2: (man) fix some broken markup, and lowercase option arguments

Benno Schulenberg <[email protected]>
Newsgroups org.kernel.vger.util-linux
Message-ID <[email protected]>
Also, reshuffle two paragraphs (from the end to the beginning), reword
some things, and remove the mistaken _num_ argument of --service.

Furthermore, use triple pluses to tell asciidoctor that two asterisks
in a message are literal asterisks and not markup: +++**+++.
