flock: fix file number in flock.1 man page
According to a search on the internet, the 200 file number is not a posix shell feature, since posix shells are only mandated to have 1 through 9. I haven't verified that this claim is right, but, at least dash doesn't like the 200. So here is a patch for the flock man page that replaces 200 with 9.
