Kir Kolyshkin dfc0f0695a man/*: revamp
Current runc man pages are ugly (no proper man page formatting)
and very short (mostly just a copy-paste from the "runc <command>
--help" output. They are also somewhat obsoleted as not all CLI updates
were propagated to man/*.

This commits makes the first step to solving this.

In short:
 - added some more information about some options;
 - lots of formatting fixes;
 - use references to other man pages and web pages;
 - fix SYNOPSYS (formatting, mostly);
 - removed the repeated description of <container_id> from every page;
 - added SEE ALSO;
 - something else I forgot.
