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out of date at best, and misleading at the worst.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-listpays -- Command for querying payment status

SYNOPSIS

listpays [bolt11]

DESCRIPTION

The listpay RPC command gets the status of all pay commands, or a single one if bolt11 is specified.

RETURN VALUE

On success, an array of objects is returned. Each object contains:

bolt11 the bolt11 argument given to pay (see below for exceptions).

status one of complete, failed or pending.

payment_preimage (if status is complete) proves payment was received.

label optional label, if provided to pay.

amount_sent_msat total amount sent, in "NNNmsat" format.

For old payments (pre-0.7) we didnt save the bolt11 string, so in its place are three other fields:

payment_hash the hash of the payment_preimage which will prove payment.

destination the final destination of the payment.

amount_msat the amount the destination received, in "NNNmsat" format.

These three can all be extracted from bolt11, hence are obsolete.
