There is value in ensuring that manual page sections use consistently
named sections, as far as possible, and also that sections have a
consistent order within manual pages. This is one of a series of patches
to place manual page sections in a consistent order.
In this patch, we ensure that the AUTHORS, COPYRIGHT, SEE ALSO, and
AVAILABILITY sections are always placed at the end of the page.
Testing that no gross editing mistake (causing accidental loss or addition
of text) was performed as follows:
$ cat $(grep '\.SH' -l $(find . -name '*.[1-9]') |sort) | sort > a
[Apply patch]
$ cat $(grep '\.SH' -l $(find . -name '*.[1-9]') |sort) | sort > b
$ diff a b
$ echo $?

The manual pages currently use a multitude of terms--"exit code",
"error code", "return code", "exit code", and so on--when what
is always meant is "exit status" (the POSIX term). This patch fixes
as many of these erroneous terms as I could find.

Change a HYPHEN-MINUS (code 0x55, 2D) to a minus (\-), if in front of
1) a name of an option
2) a negative number to be printed.
See man-pages(7) [Debian package "manpages"].
The output from "nroff" is unchanged.

nologin is typically used in /etc/passwd as a shell replacement. Hence it
is reasonable to ignore well known command-line options silently to avoid
unwanted ugly error messages.

"su -c" can pass "-c" to nologin. It causes ugly error:
su -c "echo OK" - man
-nologin: invalid option -- 'c'
Try '-nologin --help' for more information.
Accept -c to prevent this error.

Transform some of them into copyright lines.
Also fix three header lines and snip some trailing whitespace.
