[9front] Document -f option of `date` command (patch)

[nihilazo]

This is the first time I've ever submitted a patch to 9front so please 
tell me if I've got anything wrong! I couldn't find a style guide for 
manpages so I copied how existing ones were formatted the best I can.

Applied, thanks.

But -- for some reason your mail client mangled the
patch a bit; the lines that started with spaces had a
spare space perpended.

Not sure if there's a client setting you need to
change, or if you just need to attach next time.

ah, sorry. I'll attach next time - thunderbird is weird and I haven't 
found a better mail client yet
