Documentation updates.
This adds a few man pages, fixes the content and formatting on a few others. It also adds two utility scripts for me to use, publish.sh, which I use to publish updates to the gh-pages branch, and preview.sh, which I use to look at markup without cluttering my work directory.

+nng_pub - publisher protocol
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+
+[source,c]
+----------
+#include <nng/protocol/pubsub/pubsub.h>
+
+#define NNG_PROTO_PUB_V0 32
+#define NNG_PROTO_PUB NNG_PROTO_PUB_V0

+int nng_pub_open(nng_socket *s);
+int nng_pub0_open (nng_socket *s);
+
+----------
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+
+The _nng_pub_ protocol is one half of a publisher/subscriber pattern.
+In this pattern, a publisher sends data, which is broadcast to all
+subscribers. The subscribing applications only see the data to which
+they have subscribed.
+
+The _nng_pub_ protocol is the publisher side, and the
+<<nng_sub.adoc#,nng_sub(7)>> protocol is the subscriber side.
+
+NOTE: In this implementation, the publisher delivers all messages to all
+subscribers. The subscribers maintain their own subscriptions, and filter
+them locally. Thus, this pattern should not be used in an attempt to
+reduce bandwidth consumption.
+
+The topics that subscribers subscribe to is just the first part of
+the message body. Applications should construct their messages
+accordingly.
+
+Socket Operations
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The `nng_pub_open()` call creates a publisher socket. This socket
+may be used to send messages, but is unable to receive them. Attempts
+to receive messages will result in `NNG_ENOTSUP`.
+
+Protocol Versions
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Only version 0 of this protocol is supported. (At the time of writing,
+no other versions of this protocol have been defined.)
+
+Protocol Options
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The _nng_pub_ protocol has no protocol-specific options.
+
+Protocol Headers
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The _nng_pub_ protocol has no protocol-specific headers.
