fdisk: add deprecation/removal notice to man page

As of 2015 (commit b8c19fd71994) the fdisk man page claimed the command

Document the history of fdisk based on the original post to comp.unix.bsd by Julian Elischer [1] and the Mach 2.5 Installation notes [2].
I was unable to pin point the exact version of Mach the fdisk utility appeared as I could not find documentation older than version 2.5 & no source code or repo history.
fdisk utility appears as a separate utility[3] in v2.5. Due to this, I have avoided stating the exact version fdisk first appeared in Mach.
Add authors section.

Something similar should probably done with disklabel,
but I need to rewrite the disklabel examples first.
