FRIGN e51a2e6d2f Use ISO-date-format in manpages
The one specified by mdoc is hard to read for non-native
speakers from countries which read the date day-first (like
Germany, Greece, North-Korea, Swamp,...).
This is also consistent with how we generally specify dates
at suckless.org.

FRIGN 57dc7b94b0 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.

FRIGN 79e45395e5 Refactor cmp(1) code and manpage
The algorithm had some areas which had potential for improvement.
This should make cmp(1) faster.
There have been changes to behaviour as well:

1) If argv[0] and argv[1] are the same, cmp(1) returns Same.
2) POSIX specifies the format of the difference-message to be:
      "%s %s differ: char %d, line %d\n", file1, file2,
      <byte number>, <line number>
   However, as cmp(1) operates on bytes, not characters, I changed
   it to
      "%s %s differ: byte %d, line %d\n", file1, file2,
      <byte number>, <line number>
   This is one example where the standard just keeps the old format
   for backwards-compatibility. As this is harmful, this change
   makes sense in the sense of consistentcy (and because we take
   the difference of char and byte very seriously in sbase, as
   opposed to GNU coreutils).

The manpage has been annotated, reflecting the second change, and
sections shortened where possible.
Thus I marked cmp(1) as finished in README.
