Nowhere in the xfs_quota man page is the default quota described;
what it does or where it is stored.  Add some brief information
about this.

+.SS Default Quotas
+The XFS quota subsystem allows a default quota to be enforced for any user which
+does not have a quota limit explicitly set.
+These limits are stored in and displayed as the root / ID #0 limits, although
+they do not actually limit the root user.
