man pages: add missing commas between subordinate and main clauses

jmc@ dislikes a comma before "then" in a conditional, so leave those
untouched.

.Sh DESCRIPTION
This API provides a way to take advantage of an architecture's ability
to load and store words in memory of different endians.
If an architecture has no specialised support for these operations,
they will be implemented as a wrapper around the
.Xr htobe64 3
API.
.Pp
These operations are subject to the same alignment restrictions as
the host's normal memory loads and stores.
.Pp
.Fn bemtoh16 ,
.Fn bemtoh32 ,
and
.Fn bemtoh64
read a big endian value from the memory located at
.Fa m
into the host's native byte order.
.Fn lemtoh16 ,
.Fn lemtoh32 ,
and
.Fn lemtoh64
read a little endian value from the memory located at
.Fa m
into the host's native byte order.
.Pp
.Fn htobem16 ,
.Fn htobem32 ,
and
.Fn htobem64
store the host's native byte ordered value of
.Fa v
as a big endian value in the memory located at
.Fa m .
.Fn htolem16 ,
.Fn htolem32 ,
and
.Fn htolem64
store the host's native byte ordered value of
.Fa v
as a little endian value in the memory located at
.Fa m .
.Sh CONTEXT
.Fn bemtoh16 ,
.Fn bemtoh32 ,
.Fn bemtoh64 ,
.Fn lemtoh16 ,
.Fn lemtoh32 ,
.Fn lemtoh64 ,
.Fn htobem16 ,
.Fn htobem32 ,
.Fn htobem64 ,
.Fn htolem16 ,
.Fn htolem32 ,
and
.Fn htolem64
can be called during autoconf, from process context, or from interrupt
context.
.Sh RETURN VALUES
.Fn bemtoh16 ,
.Fn bemtoh32 ,
.Fn bemtoh64 ,
.Fn lemtoh16 ,
.Fn lemtoh32 ,
and
.Fn lemtoh64
return the host's native byte ordered value of the memory at
.Fa m
after the appropriate byteswapping has occurred.
.Pp
.Fn htobem16 ,
.Fn htobem32 ,
.Fn htobem64 ,
.Fn htolem16 ,
.Fn htolem32 ,
and
.Fn htolem64
do not return a value.
