Patch to the manpage

The batch(1) manpage (the same as at(1)) states that batch jobs are executed when "the load average drops below 1.5". This is wrong, batch jobs are executed when the load avarage drops below 1.5 * the number of active CPUs. The attached patch fixes this statements. While there I've limited the line length to 72 characters.

New revision: 337638
URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/337638

Log:
   - Correct the description when jobs are executed related to load avg
     to match reality (slightly different to what was submitted in the
     PR: use english word instead of math-symbol).
   - Wrap the corresponding part to below 80 characters per line.
