[patch] fix :p and apostrophe commands in man page of more

[Benno Schulenberg]

Hi,

Currently the man page of more gives :P instead of the correct :p
as the command for 'previous file', and it shows an acute accent
(groff conversions) instead of an apostrophe as the command key
for 'go back to where you were'.

Attached patch fixes those two things.  It also condenses some
descriptions, removes two pointless comments, and deletes a
leftover formatting line.

Regards,

Benno

Subject: [PATCH] docs: fix two command representations in the man page of more

The previous-file command is not :P but :p, and the back-to-where
command is not an acute accent but an apostrophe.  Also condense
some of the descriptions and remove some useless comments.
