Brandon Pribula d458fa2c7b 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.
