Add manpage

[mariogrip]

This adds a manpage for btop

This is still WIP as it's still missing to be included in makefiles and is still missing some things like configuration file and keyboard navigation/bindings. but i put it up here for early review.

Have you considered writing this as a Markdown/restructuredText and using something like Pandoc to generate the man page file? This might be easier to main and integrate in the long term.

This would be a better idea indeed, there is also help2doc that creates it based on the --help output. but i went with this for the initial debian pkg.

Great initiative and a good start!

Intergrate the manpage

For a better integration many lines can be appended in the Makefile file.

End of the install rule :

  @printf "\033[1;92mInstalling manpage to: \033[1;97m$(DESTDIR)$(PREFIX)/share/man/man1/btop.1\033[0m\n"
  @mkdir -p $(DESTDIR)$(PREFIX)/share/man/man1/
  @cp -p man/btop.1 $(DESTDIR)$(PREFIX)/share/man/man1/btop.1

End of the uninstall rule :

  @printf "\033[1;91mRemoving: \033[1;97m$(DESTDIR)$(PREFIX)/share/man/man1/btop.1\033[0m\n"
  @rm -rf $(DESTDIR)$(PREFIX)/share/man/man1/btop.1

In this example the man/btop.1 file needs to be added in the repository.
After the user can type man btop.

I just submitted #724 which is slightly more complete than this draft, and it has the man page source in Markdown so that it is easier for people to read it directly on GitHub (or GitLab or even in plain text) and then it compiles to troff using a widely available lightweight tool called lowdown.

Hi @mariogrip! Note that c767099 got merged now. Would you like to rebase your work and help improve/polish the manpage.md file?
