find: various improvements (#3124)

* find: various improvements

The information content of the page should be unchanged, but hopefully it's now easier to read
(and respects our length recommendations of 8 maximum examples).

The changes include:
- Make the `-mtime` example more intuitive, so it only needs to be shown once,
  and combine the `-delete` option with the first (now only) `-mtime` example
  (thus reducing the page size back to 8 examples)
- Fix a comma splice in the `-exec` example, and a missing "a" in the `-path` example
- Reorder the examples to provide a more consistent and intuitive sequence
  (e.g. by introducing `-iname` in an earlier example, and moving the `-exec` command down)
