docs: bring eight more man pages closer to standard formatting
Also, for chcpu, the options -c, -d, -e and -g are mutually exclusive,
and for the mode argument the option -p is not optional. For ldattach,
use the standard options separator ", " instead of the unusual " | ".
And add the missing --version to several of the pages. Besides, improve
the wording and the consistency of the spacing.
