jn64 59fa217a7b Draft manpage (pandoc Markdown)
While Markdown isn't the best fit for writing manpages,
it's the easiest for future contributions/maintenance.
However, pandoc is a heavy dependency for producing
a single manpage. Other tools [1] could be evaluated.

The only pandoc-isms are the title block [2]
(first 3 lines) which will rarely change,
and the definition lists ':' for options
which is self-explanatory.

The Markdown source is intentionally not hard wrapped.
pandoc automatically hard wraps the roff man output
(which may be further re-wrapped by manpage viewers).

To produce the manpage (outputs a file Cemu.1):

    pandoc -s -f markdown-smart -t man Cemu.1.md -o Cemu.1

Preview from Markdown without writing to file:

    pandoc -s -f markdown-smart -t man Cemu.1.md | man -l -

markdown-smart *disables* the smart typography extension
to avoid mangling '--'. [3]
