ip-address: fix and extend documentation
* Improve manual page synopsis and built-it help * Use full subcommand names (e.g. 'address' and 'maddress') * Specify when IPv4, IPv6 or both are affected * Add lifetimes, home and nodad * Remove any remaining excess spaces Commit43d29f7substantially improves generated ip-address.8 instead of ip-address.8.in and commite419f2dremoves the generated one losing the improvements entirely. This commit recovers the lost changes, adapts them to the current manual page and adds more man page and help improvements. Original commit by: Kenyon Ralph <kenyon@kenyonralph.com>
