[Info-mtools] Reserved sectors bug in mformat

In mtools versions before 4.0.28, the count of reserved sectors was a unsigned int. In later versions, this was changed to a uint8. This results in an inability to reserve more than 255 sectors with the -R option. FAT supports a 16 bit unsigned count for reserved sectors in the BPB, not just 8. Please fix this.
