Move manpages to scdoc
This rewrites the existing manpages to use the `scdoc` format, making it simpler to read and edit the manpages without intricate roff knowledge. Some minor changes to the manpages were made in the process, mostly focusing on correcting some of the wording. The list of maintainers has also changed to ensure people not involved in the project anymore aren't unnecessarily contacted for support.
