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out of date at best, and misleading at the worst.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-txprepare - Command to prepare to withdraw funds from the internal wallet
.SH SYNOPSIS
\fBtxprepare\fR \fIdestination\fR \fIsatoshi\fR [\fIfeerate\fR] [\fIminconf\fR]
.SH DESCRIPTION
The \fBtxprepare\fR RPC command creates an unsigned transaction which
spends funds from c-lightnings internal wallet to the address specified
in \fIdestination\fR\.
Effectively, it is the first part of a \fBwithdraw\fR command, and uses
the same parameters\. The second part is provided by \fBtxsend\fR\.
.SH RETURN VALUE
On success, an object with attributes \fIunsigned_tx\fR and \fItxid\fR will be
returned\. You need to hand \fItxid\fR to \fBtxsend\fR or \fBtxdiscard\fR, as the
inputs of this transaction are reserved until then, or until the daemon
restarts\.
\fIunsigned_tx\fR represents the raw bitcoin transaction (not yet signed)
and \fItxid\fR represent the bitcoin transaction id\.
On failure, an error is reported and the transaction is not created\.
The following error codes may occur:
.IP \[bu]
-1: Catchall nonspecific error\.
.IP \[bu]
301: There are not enough funds in the internal wallet (including
fees) to create the transaction\.
.IP \[bu]
302: The dust limit is not met\.
