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. Signed-off-by: Benno Schulenberg <bensberg@justemail.net>
