minor documentation improvements

Christoph Anton Mitterer requested to merge calestyo/cryptsetup:minor-documentation-improvements into master

Hey @mbroz.

Please consider these and double check everything, especially:

For LUKS I unified Terminal/stdin cases or reading passphrases. That also means that I assumed that even the interactively read passphrase ("from Terminal) would be subject to the compiled-in maximum, which wasn't mentioned previously.

For plain dm-crypt I didn't change anything, because I was a bit confused by it:

From stdin says:

Note that if --key-file=- is used for reading the key from stdin, trailing newlines are not stripped from the input.

I though in that case it would also just read the file like it does in From a key file, i.e. truncated at the key-size? But what does that have to do with trailing newlines? And why multiple of them?
