 1.19  26-Feb-2020  wiz Add some commas.
 1.18  26-Feb-2020  gutteridge echo.1: add a note about other echo implementations

The other BSDs all have a note reminding that many shells have their
own internal echo implementations which may vary from this utility, so
add one. (Much of the wording is borrowed from FreeBSD's man page.)

(The other BSDs also have notes about the -n option not really being
portable, and printf[1] being preferable, we might want to add
something about that, too.)
