Misc textual fixes/changes to the man pages

Browse source 
Fixed the NAME sections and man page cross references; tried to make
VARIABLES reflect whether they were used in an expanded sense or not;
changed an .IP list with non-standard bullets to a .TP with standard;
added standard NOTES section to sbopkg.conf and changed the .SH under it
to .SS and also changed the INSTRUCTIONS .SH in sbopkg(8) to an .SS of
DESCRIPTION; changed the FILES section from dashed .PP to undashed .TPs,
and changed the font to .I; changed the SEE ALSO section by removing
quotes, adding commas, reducing individual file references to the
general doc dir which was given a full path and changing its font to
.IR; and redid the tags in the OPTIONS section of sbopkg(8), making
replaceable args italic, changing the dashes, adding the missing
argument to the -f option.

.IP under .TP.
* Wrap lines at 72 columns and begin all sentences on new lines.
* If variables are being used in the sense of their value, use $VAL but if
they are being used in reference to themselves, use VAR.
* Where sensible, try to make .TPs have a consistent indent.

Sbopkg must be run as the root user (since the SlackBuild scripts at
