Patch for adding --resize to manpage

[Zdenek Kabelac]

Here is proposal for adding documentation about --resizefs, --nofsck,--force 
option for lvextend, lvresize, lvreduce.

It should resolve: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=592428

Patch for adding --resize to manpage

Under lvextend/'--force', s/without any question/without any questions/.

Under lvextend/'--resizefs', The sentence about 'fsadm' seems to imply  
that it is necessary in addition to the argument.  Is this the case?   
If not, perhaps we could say something like, "fsadm can be used to  
resize a filesystem separately if this option is not used."

Under lvreduce, is there no '--force' option?  If not, we should  
probably remove a reference to in in '--nofsck'.

Under lvreduce/'--resize', same comment concerning fsadm.

Under lvresize/'--force', s/question/questions/

Under lvresize/'--resize', same as above

Otherwise, seems fine.

It works rather this way:

lvresize calculates new blocksize from command line options and
- resizes LV and execs fsadm for fs resize (lvextend)
- or execs fsadm for fs shrink and then reduces LV (lvreduce)

It will not work without fsadm as the lvresize command does not know anything 
about filesystems and their utilities for its resizing.

The other way around is - to use only  fsadm - which will use lvresize.
It should have easier syntax for user - on the other hand - doesn't handle 
given sizes  - i.e.  1.5GB (float numbers) are not yet supported by this tool 
and user needs to use 1500M.
