manual: Document %m instead of %a for formatted input, note POSIX.1-2008

I could not get mail through to the libc-alpha list (was subscribed, tried
"global-allow-subscribe-...", kept getting "Sorry, I've been told to reject
your posts.") so I'm submitting this patch here.

I suppose %m would benefit from more documentation than this but simply
documenting it in place of %a already seems to be an improvement standards wise
as it's not only GNU, but POSIX as well.
