Hi Jason,

Forgive brevity, I have no computer this weekend.

Mistake, I think Ingo corrected it.

These formatting changes more or less come with the
mdoc semantic markup. This is consistent with BSD man
page style. There are some conflicts with the non-mdoc
way of doing things perhaps. In general I think the
semantics are worth it (especially with mandoc's
searching, tagging, HTML generation capabilities).

Except where I introduced semantic markup, I tried to
keep things the same. It's possible there's a place or
two where I changed something without thinking. But I
tried to avoid it.

Side note... last time I poked at WireGuard manpages, it resulted in
this commit:
