docs: Update documentation to be consistent
This fixes some missing commands in the parted.texi file used to generate the web manual and info document. It also removes documentation for the never-implemented 'print NUMBER' command which only returns 1. The parted manpage has been updated to document the available print options, disk_set, and disk_toggle commands.
