Andrew Deason ade56fa2f9 doc: Make all vos pages =include common options
Many manpages for "vos" subcommands were not using the "common" vos
fragments, and instead were just repeating the information directly in
their manpage. Make them all use the "common" vos fragment to avoid
duplication.

=head1 DESCRIPTION
The B<vos lock> command locks the Volume Location Database (VLDB) entry
for the indicated volume, blocking any operation that requires a write to
that entry. The lock applies to all of the volume versions associated with
the entry, not just the one specified with the B<-id> argument.
To unlock a single VLDB entry, use the B<vos unlock> command. To unlock
several entries, or all locked entries in the VLDB, use the B<vos
unlockvldb> command.
=head1 CAUTIONS
Do not use this command in normal circumstances. It is useful for
guaranteeing that the volume stays unchanged when there is reason to
believe that volume operations cannot properly lock VLDB volume entries as
they normally do to synchronize with one another.
=head1 OPTIONS
=over 4
=item B<-id> <I<volume name or ID>>
Specifies either the complete name or volume ID number of a volume of the
any of the three types.
=include fragments/vos-common.pod
=back
=head1 EXAMPLES
The following command locks the VLDB entry for C<user.terry>.
% vos lock user.terry
=head1 PRIVILEGE REQUIRED
The issuer must be listed in the F</usr/afs/etc/UserList> file on the
machine specified with the B<-server> argument and on each database server
machine. If the B<-localauth> flag is included, the issuer must instead be
logged on to a server machine as the local superuser C<root>.
