Otto Kekäläinen ed68589af1 Create man page for btop in Markdown

Create a man page in Markdown format so that it can be read online on
GitHub etc and it can be edited much more easily than a raw troff/groff
file.

Compile it to proper man page format at build-time using 'lowdown' if
it is available on the system, otherwise just issue a warning in yellow.

Tested to work both with:

    export VERBOSE=1
    make
    make install
    make uninstall

    cmake -B build
    cmake --build build --verbose

While Lowdown is easy to manually install in all modern Linux distros
and also Homebrew for Mac, this commit does not add 'lowdown' in any
build dependencies or in the CI, that needs to be done separately.
