Benno Schulenberg cf8e0bae34 docs: bring five more man pages closer to standard formatting
Also, for renice, adapt the descriptions to the behaviour: the -g,
-p and -u options do not actually need to be followed by any ID.

Phillip Susi e8f3480354 renice: correct max priority in renice man page
The man page stated that the PRIO_MAX is 20.  While this
is correct, the header definition is wrong and the max
value is actually 19.

[kzak@redhat.com: - remove PRIO_MAX from man page, kernel syscalls
                    use hardcoded numbers for the priority limits]

Benno Schulenberg 62246430f3 docs: also uniformize headers and footers of troff-formatted man pages
Add two spaces as the required third argument of the date line to make
the specified date get used instead of today's date.  Incorporate the
section number into the page title, then use an empty section number,
so that specifying an explicit section/volume name will work.

Benno Schulenberg 232dc924c4 docs: uniformize the header and footer lines in man pages
Use dates without the day, use the full month name, put "util-linux" in
the lower left corner, and "User Commands" or "System Administration"
at the top center.

Also improve here and there the one-line program description.

LaMont Jones 628cab7cde renice: detect errors in arguments, add -v, -h and long options
* renice was using atoi(), which does no error detection, meaning
   that: "renice +20 blah" was accepted as valid.

 * add -h | --help

 * add -v | --version

 * add long options for -p, -u and -g

 * cleanup coding style
