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out of date at best, and misleading at the worst.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-disconnect - Command for disconnecting from another lightning node
.SH SYNOPSIS
\fBdisconnect\fR \fIid\fR [\fIforce\fR]
.SH DESCRIPTION
The disconnect RPC command closes an existing connection to a peer,
identified by \fIid\fR, in the Lightning Network, as long as it doesnt have
an active channel\. If \fIforce\fR is set then it will disconnect even with
an active channel\.
The \fIid\fR can be discovered in the output of the listpeers command, which
returns a set of peers:
.nf
.RS
{
"peers": [
{
"id": "0563aea81...",
"connected": true,
...
}
]
}
.RE
.fi
Passing the \fIid\fR attribute of a peer to \fIdisconnect\fR will terminate the
connection\.
.SH RETURN VALUE
On success, an empty object is returned\.
.SH ERRORS
If \fIid\fR is invalid, an error message will be returned:
.nf
.RS
{ "code" : -1, "message" : "Peer not connected" }
.RE
.fi
If the peer has an active channel and \fIforce\fR is not set, an error
message will be returned:
.nf
.RS
{ "code" : -1, "message" : "Peer is in state CHANNELD_NORMAL" }
.RE
.fi
