Subject: [PATCH 09/15] Update/clean up btrfs help and man page V2

	Hi all,

	enclose you can find a patch which improves the help of the btrfs commands,
	 updates the INSTALL file  and  the btrfs (command) man page.

	Regarding the help of the btrfs command:
	- moved the "subvolume set-default" command in the "subvolume" commands group
	- removed a wrong new line
	- small tweak on the basis of Andreas suggestion

	Regarding the btrfs command man page:
	- renaming the command "device balance" in "filesystem balance" (thanks to
	Andreas Phillipp to highlight that)
	- adding the entry "subvolume find-new"
	- document the switches of the command "filesystem defrag"
	- document the <devid> facility of the command "filesystem resize"
	- small tweak on the basis of Andreas suggestion

	Regarding the INSTALL file, which was very old, I removed the reference of the
	old btrfsctl utility and changed the examples using the btrfs command.
	I removed the old (and now wrong) statement about the inability to delete a
	subvolume/snapshot

	Chris, you can pull the patch from the branch "help_cleanup" of the following
	repository.

	http://cassiopea.homelinux.net/git/btrfs-progs-unstable.git

	(or you can browse the changes at
	http://cassiopea.homelinux.net/git/btrfs-progs-unstable.git/?p=btrfs-
	progs-unstable-all.git;a=summary)

	The patch is very simple: only updates the man page, the INSTALL file and
	 moves/updates some lines in the help of btrfs command. Comments are welcome.

	Regards
	G.Baroncelli
