doc: man pages for checkmessage and signmessage. They're a little subtle, so let's spell out exactly what checkmessage means. In particular, we avoid discussing key derivation from a signature, as it tends to get people (like me!) into trouble: we describe it instead as iterating through every known node.

lightning-signmessage -- Command to create a signature from this node
=====================================================================
SYNOPSIS
--------
**signmessage** *message*
DESCRIPTION
-----------
The **signmessage** RPC command creates a digital signature of
*message* using this node's secret key. A receiver who knows your
node's *id* and the *message* can be sure that the resulting signature could
only be created by something with access to this node's secret key.
*message* must be less that 65536 characters.
RETURN VALUE
------------
doc: schemas for everything else. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Changelog-Fixed: doc: Epic documentation rewrite: each now lists complete and accurate JSON output, tested against testsuite.

[comment]: # (GENERATE-FROM-SCHEMA-START)
On success, an object is returned, containing:
- **signature** (hex): The signature (always 128 characters)
- **recid** (hex): The recovery id (0, 1, 2 or 3) (always 2 characters)
- **zbase** (string): *signature* and *recid* encoded in a style compatible with **lnd**'s [SignMessageRequest](https://api.lightning.community/#grpc-request-signmessagerequest)
doc: fix GH/readthedocs rendering of manual pages. They render the comment as if it's in the list. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

doc: force refresh of all manpages. The idea is that you regenerate the man pages in the same commit you alter them: that's how we know whether to try regenerating them or not (git doesn't store timestamps, so it can't really tell). Travis will now check this, so force them all to sync to this commit. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
