Subject: mtree verification output format

I would like to change the outputformat of mtree(8) to be more
systematic and machine-readable.

The changes amount to:

	make "extra" and "missing" attributes in the output
	rather than prefixes which can be confused with filenames.

	Don't do the "run-in" of the first attribute with a short
	filename

I attach below a before/after example which show the effect.

Any objections ?
