chmod: Remove -HLP flags, and ignore symlinks during traversal These flags are non-POSIX and not useful since the mode of symlinks is not used for anything. This prevents a failure when a dangling symlink is encountered during a recursive chmod.

Add mandoc-manpage for chmod(1) and mark it as finished in README. One small rationale on the way the manpage is set up: Looking at the coreutils manpage, it does not invite to be a quick reference guide, whereas I wrote this manpage to be short and concise in regard to the information the advanced user needs. No one needs to explain what an octal number is. That's not part of the scope of this manpage. Also, nobody wants to read a block of text just to find out how to build an octal mode string.

.Nm chmod
Audit chmod(1) 1) Update manpage, refactor the HLP-section and other wordings. 2) BUGFIX: If chmod() fails, don't recurse. 3) Rewrite the arg-loop, fixing several issues: BUGFIX: Handle multi-flags (e.g. -RH) BUGFIX: Properly handle the termination flag --, error on e.g. --x BUGFIX: Error out on an empty flag -. 4) Refactor logic after the arg-loop, which is now simpler thanks to argv-incremention.

.Sh STANDARDS
The
.Nm
utility is compliant with the
POSIX 2013 audit Mostly manpage-shuffling according to the changes in the corrigendum, wording changes and more idiomatic expressions. All this is finished up by marking the POSIX 2013 conformant tools with .St -p1003.1-2013 which is not available in older mandoc builds or nroff, but which reflects what we actually did, so who cares? This is a huge step and it's not far until we can release sbase 0.1.
