The man page currently has two fairly large, near-identical sections
separately describing the -t and -u options for passt and pasta. This is
bulky and potentially confusing. It will make this information more
tedious to update as we alter what's possible here with the forwarding
table. Consolidate both descriptions to a single one in the common
options, noting the few passt/pasta difference inline.
There's similar duplication usage(), consolidate that as well.
