Summary

Change description of manual page
Split out filesystem, GPT and GEOM labels.
Give an example for each filesystem of the program to use to set a label.
Clarify examples.

To summarize the original PR:

"Labelization" is not a real word. Please change the description of the manual page.
glabel(8) is confusing and doesn't distinguish between filesystem labels and GEOM labels.
The example doesn't appear to show glabel in action.

PR:262207

Test Plan

Check formatting
mandoc -Tascii lib/geom/label/glabel.8

Remove empty Em.
Remove end-of-line space.

Can you update the patch to use ada instead of ad, which is the more canonical naming used these days?
