Milan Broz 360f85dde7 man: Grammar and simple stylistic fixes.
This is based mainly on Grammarly.

It unifies man pages to at least some level of grammar,
so later we can focus on adding more readable content.

== Name
cryptsetup-luksKillSlot - wipe a keyslot from the LUKS device
== SYNOPSIS
*cryptsetup _luksKillSlot_ [<options>] <device> <number>*
== DESCRIPTION
Wipe the keyslot with the number from the LUKS device.
Except running in batch-mode (-q), a remaining passphrase must be supplied, either interactively or via --key-file.
This command can remove the last remaining keyslot, but requires an interactive confirmation when doing so.
Removing the last passphrase makes a LUKS container permanently inaccessible.
*<options>* can be [--key-file, --keyfile-offset, --keyfile-size, --header, --disable-locks, --type, --verify-passphrase, --timeout].
*WARNING:* If you read the passphrase from stdin (without further argument or with '-' as an argument to --key-file), batch-mode (-q) will be implicitly switched on and no warning will be given when you remove the last remaining passphrase from a LUKS container.
Removing the last passphrase makes the LUKS container permanently inaccessible.
*NOTE:* If no passphrase is provided (on stdin or through --key-file argument) and batch-mode (-q) is active, the keyslot is removed without any other warning.
