Adjust formatting of grep and zgrep manual pages.
grep(1) changes:
- Pet mandoc & igor.
- Stylize the text more with macros when appropriate.
- Stylize equal signs in long options (e.g., "--color=auto") with
the "Cm" macro as suggested by mdoc(7).
- Add missing arguments to --exlude, --exclude-dir, --include and
--include-dir.
- Remove a duplicate entry for the --context flag.
- Use a list in the EXAMPLES sections to make it easier to tell
which paragraphs belong to which example.
- Cross reference zgrep(1).
zgrep(1) changes:
- Fix Nd.
- Split synopsis into paragraphs for readability.
- Cross reference bzip(1), grep(1) and xz(1).
