docs: Regenerate all manpages using mmark (#2762)
Mmark recently became able to create manual pages. This removed the
dependency on 'ronn' and just uses mmark (Go program).

Re-hookup Makefile.doc to generate the correct header mmark needs to
see and regenate them all.

Spot checking a few pages suggest they look good and actually better
than rendered with ronn, esp. lists in lists.

Fixes #2757

.SH NAME
.PP
\fIerratic\fP - a plugin useful for testing client behavior.
.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
\fIerratic\fP returns a static response to all queries, but the responses can be delayed, dropped or truncated.
The \fIerratic\fP plugin will respond to every A or AAAA query. For any other type it will return
a SERVFAIL response. The reply for A will return 192.0.2.53 (see RFC
5737
\[la]https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5737\[ra],
for AAAA it returns 2001:DB8::53 (see RFC 3849
\[la]https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3849\[ra]) and for an
AXFR request it will respond with a small zone transfer.
.PP
\fIerratic\fP can also be used in conjunction with the \fIautopath\fP plugin. This is mostly to aid in
testing.
