Christian Decker c3254e6639 docs: Update manpages to be recognized correctly by mrkd
mrkd started enforcing the `name -- short description` style of top-level
headings somewhere, and was thus failing to build the man-pages. I swapped
the title and with the existing short description to make it work
again. `mrkd` will automatically infer the section from the filename so no
need to put it in the title as well.

In addition I removed the "last updated" lines at the bottom since they are
out of date at best, and misleading at the worst. If we want to keep them, I'd
suggest generating them from the commit that last touched them.

.SH NAME
lightning-decodepay - Command for decoding a bolt11 string (low-level)
.SH SYNOPSIS
\fBdecodepay\fR \fIbolt11\fR [\fIdescription\fR]
.SH DESCRIPTION
The \fBdecodepay\fR RPC command checks and parses a \fIbolt11\fR string as
specified by the BOLT 11 specification\.
.SH RETURN VALUE
On success, an object is returned with the following fields, as
specified by BOLT11:
.IP \[bu]
\fIcurrency\fR: the BIP173 name for the currency\.
.IP \[bu]
\fItimestamp\fR: the UNIX-style timestamp of the invoice\.
.IP \[bu]
\fIexpiry\fR: the number of seconds this is valid after \fItimestamp\fR\.
.IP \[bu]
\fIpayee\fR: the public key of the recipient\.
.IP \[bu]
\fIpayment_hash\fR: the payment hash of the request\.
.IP \[bu]
\fIsignature\fR: the DER-encoded signature\.
.IP \[bu]
\fIdescription\fR: the description of the purpose of the purchase (see
below)
The following fields are optional:
.IP \[bu]
\fImsatoshi\fR: the number of millisatoshi requested (if any)\.
.IP \[bu]
\fIamount_msat\fR: the same as above, with \fImsat\fR appended (if any)\.
.IP \[bu]
\fIfallbacks\fR: array of fallback address object containing a \fIhex\fR
string, and both \fItype\fR and \fIaddr\fR if it is recognized as one of
\fIP2PKH\fR, \fIP2SH\fR, \fIP2WPKH\fR, or \fIP2WSH\fR\.
.IP \[bu]
\fIroutes\fR: an array of routes\. Each route is an arrays of objects,
each containing \fIpubkey\fR, \fIshort_channel_id\fR, \fIfee_base_msat\fR,
\fIfee_proportional_millionths\fR and \fIcltv_expiry_delta\fR\.
.IP \[bu]
\fIextra\fR: an array of objects representing unknown fields, each with
one-character \fItag\fR and a \fIdata\fR bech32 string\.
Technically, the \fIdescription\fR field is optional if a
\fIdescription_hash\fR field is given, but in this case \fBdecodepay\fR will
only succeed if the optional \fIdescription\fR field is passed and matches
the \fIdescription_hash\fR\. In practice, these are currently unused\.
