Do not claim that empty numbers set EINVAL, our implementation doesn't.

Mention that invalid bases do set EINVAL (as required by POSIX);
this part of the change uses part of an earlier patch by millert@.
Minor mdoc(7) cleanup and sync between the two pages while here.
Feedback and ok jmc@ and millert@.
