fix: update man pages to standard mdoc date format When viewing sbase's man pages the date displayed at the bottom is the current date rather than the date entered in the <program>.1 file. According to this: https://mandoc.bsd.lv/mdoc/details/date.html The traditional man date format used by sbase (.Dd year-month-day) is no longer recommended and no longer supported by GNU troff or Heirloom Docs and as a result the current date is displayed instead. Although this format is still accepted by mandoc for backward compatibility. For portability it states the standard mdoc date format should be used instead: .Dd month day, year I applied the following patch to sbase's last commit b30fb56 and it fixes the issue. 2024-09-07 22:57:31 +00:00			`.Dd October 8, 2015`

Fix various lint warnings in manuals Fix "new sentence, new line" warnings throughout so that formatters can produce correct spacing between sentences. join.1 Remove unnecessary Ns macros. These are not necessary for delimeters, which get special treatment. xinstall.1 Fix date in manual. The contents were last modified on 2016-12-03, so use that instead of the invalid date. grep.1 Fix escape sequence for `\<` and `\>`. ed.1 Remove spurious `\\n` escape for the null-command. 2020-03-01 22:37:31 +00:00			`to flush all unwritten changes to disk.`
