More man page reorganization.
Man pages need special handling, and we can have other kinds of documentation like initial starting guides, etc., which would have different processing applied. So lets move them off into their own directory.

-NAME

-nng_rep - reply protocol
-
-SYNOPSIS
---------
-
-[source,c]
-----------
-#include <nng/protocol/reqrep0/rep.h>
-
-int nng_rep0_open(nng_socket *s);
-----------
-
-DESCRIPTION
------------
-
-The _nng_rep_ protocol is one half of a request/reply pattern.
-In this pattern, a requester sends a message to one replier, who
-is expected to reply. The request is resent if no reply arrives,
-until a reply is received or the request times out.
-
-TIP: This protocol is useful in setting up RPC-like services. It
-is also "reliable", in that a the requester will keep retrying until
-a reply is received.
-
-The _nng_rep_ protocol is the replier side, and the
-<<nng_req#,nng_req(7)>> protocol is the requester side.
-
-Socket Operations
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-The `nng_rep0_open()` call creates a requester socket. This socket
-may be used to receive messages (requests), and then to send replies. Generally
-a reply can only be sent after receiving a request. (Attempts to receive
-a message will result in `NNG_ESTATE` if there is no outstanding request.)
-
-Attempts to send on a socket with no outstanding requests will result
-in `NNG_ESTATE`.
-
-Raw mode sockets (set with `NNG_OPT_RAW`) ignore all these restrictions.
-
-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 following protocol-specific options are available.
-
-`NNG_OPT_MAXTTL`::
-
- Maximum time-to-live. This option is an integer value
- between 0 and 255,
- inclusive, and is the maximum number of "hops" that a message may
- pass through until it is discarded. The default value is 8. A value
- of 0 may be used to disable the loop protection, allowing an infinite
- number of hops.
-
-Protocol Headers
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-The _nng_rep_ protocol uses a _backtrace_ in the header. This is
-more fully documented in the <<nng_req#,nng_req(7)>> manual.
