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).
