fdisk(8) - Add History

- 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 didn't 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've avoided stating the exact version fdisk first appeared in Mach.

- Make correction pointed by igor

- Bump date
