Fix wrongly-documented "fix_binary" format entry

The manual page says:

| The magic, offset, mask, extension, detector, credentials, preserve, and
| fix-binary options correspond to the command-line options of the same
| names.

However, the code parses "fix_binary" rather than "fix-binary". Use of
"fix-binary" is silently ignored.

Fixes Debian bug #945020.

* man/update-binfmts.man8 (FORMAT FILES): Correct spelling of
"fix_binary" option.

Warn about fix-binary/detectors incompatibility

"--fix-binary yes" is incompatible with detectors. Warn the user if
they try to use both at once.

needed and the fix-binary flag is set.

incompatibility.

Avoid cleanup problems in chroots

Don't enable formats on import or disable them on unimport unless

* src/update-binfmts.c (is_enabled): New function.
(load_binfmt_misc): Use is_enabled rather than equivalent code.

(act_remove): Add always_update_kernel argument. Only disable if
always_update_kernel or if binfmt_misc is already enabled.
(act_import, act_unimport, main): Adjust calls to act_install and
act_remove.
* NEWS: Document this.
