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out of date at best, and misleading at the worst.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.

lightning-disconnect -- Command for disconnecting from another lightning node

SYNOPSIS

disconnect id [force]

DESCRIPTION

The disconnect RPC command closes an existing connection to a peer, identified by id, in the Lightning Network, as long as it doesnt have an active channel. If force is set then it will disconnect even with an active channel.

The id can be discovered in the output of the listpeers command, which returns a set of peers:

{
     "peers": [
          {
               "id": "0563aea81...",
               "connected": true,
               ...
          }
     ]
}

Passing the id attribute of a peer to disconnect will terminate the connection.

RETURN VALUE

On success, an empty object is returned.

ERRORS

If id is invalid, an error message will be returned:

{ "code" : -1, "message" : "Peer not connected" }

If the peer has an active channel and force is not set, an error message will be returned:

{ "code" : -1, "message" : "Peer is in state CHANNELD_NORMAL" }
