Most of these are false positives, in the sense that a line break is
escaped, and the matching quote is in the next source line.
However, let's remove those escaped line breaks, which make reading the
source more difficult. For this, rename some parameters to be shorter,
and allow some lines to go slightly past the 80-column right margin.

Previously, many people confused these for actual parameters, since it's
hard to distinguish a ',' from ';'. By removing bold/italics from
these, it will be easier to distinguish them.
The cases have been found with a script:
$ find -type f \
| xargs grep -l '^\.TH ' \
| sort \
| xargs mansect SYNOPSIS \
| man /dev/stdin \
| grep -e '^[^ ]' -e '[^ ]( [^ )].*[^)];' \
| less;

- Rename the file CREDITS => AUTHORS
- Say 'authors' in the copyright notice. Scripted change:
$ grep -rn 'The contributors to the Linux man-pages' -l \
| xargs sed -i '/Copyright, The contributors to the Linux man-pages project/s/contributors to/authors of/'

Use 'length' for the lenght of a string.
Use 'n' for the number of elements.
Use 'size' for the number of bytes. (And in wide-character string
functions, 'size' also refers to the number of wide characters.)
The change is quite large, and I might have made some mistakes.
But overall, this should improve consistency in use of these terms.

The root of the repository is becoming a bit overpopulated and
unorganized, due to the recent addition of more mandirs, and more
informative and configuration files too. Let's create a specific
mandir <man/> that contains the mandirs <man[1-8]*>.
