Fix markup for docbook2man man page generation.

Browse Source 
No big deal; fixed lots of other markup at the same time.
Bigest change: make sure there is no whitespace
 in front of <term> contents.
This will probably help the other output types too.

<PARA>
INSERT allows one to insert new rows into a table. One can insert
a single row at time or several rows as a result of a query.
The columns in the target list may be listed in any order.
In every column not present in the target list will be inserted
the default value, if column has not a declared default value
it will be assumed as NULL. If the expression for each column
is not of the correct data type, automatic type coercion will be
attempted.
</para>
<para>
You must have insert privilege to a table in order to append
to it, as well as select privilege on any table specified
in a WHERE clause.
