Log:
  libgeom(3): apply minor polish
  
  - Use .Dv when mentioning NULL per mdoc(7).
  - Reword `g_device_path`, `g_open_by_ident`, and `g_providername`'s descriptions
    so they're less wordy.
  - Fix a typo in `g_device_path` (can not -> cannot).
  
  MFC after:	5 weeks
  Tested with:	igor, make manlint
