sizeof manual page

As an operator rather than a library function or syscall, 'sizeof' does not
have a manual page.  Its use is however not always completely obvious and
especially novice programmers misunderstand its function.  Being able to type
'man sizeof' to get an explanation is a lot more convenient than having to rely
on Google->StackOverflow and hoping whatever answers one finds there is
reasonable.

I wrote a manual page for the 'sizeof' operator:
https://github.com/jschauma/manpages/blob/main/man7/sizeof.7

(I've attached a copy of the manual page here to the bug as well.)

If the FreeBSD Project sees value in this and would like to add this manual
page to the base system, I'd be happy to sign over the copyright.

Note: my mandoc-fu is weak, and fixes and improvements may well be necessary.
