docs: various pages: Use consistent terminology (set-user-ID and set-group-ID)
Use consistent terminology for set-user-ID and set-group-ID bits. There's much inconsistency in the pages. "suid", "set-user-identifier", "setuid". Stick with one terminology, "set-user-ID" and set-grout-ID, as suggested in man-pages(7). Signed-off-by: <mtk.man-pages@gmail.com>
