fixes #286 nng_pair0_open (and all others) need man page
fixes #279 consider restructuring man sections
This represents a rather significant rework, and major editing
effort, for the entire set of manual pages.
All of the pages now have a section number in their filename;
this assists in some other tooling, particularly ebook generation
as every link needs to be programmatically modified when combined
into an ebook.
Section 5 is introduced, and populated with pages for the main
types, and all options are now documented.
Numerous errors have been corrected, including rewriting certain
portions such as the header section of the surveyor protocol.
Much work has been done to facilitate index generation, although
certainly more work remains here.
Every internal link within these pages now resolves; there are no
more dead links. (This is required to generate Kindle format books.)
