lightning-checkmessage -- Command to check if a signature is from a node
doc: man pages for checkmessage and signmessage. They're a little subtle, so let's spell out exactly what checkmessage means. In particular, we avoid discussing key derivation from a signature, as it tends to get people (like me!) into trouble: we describe it instead as iterating through every known node.

DESCRIPTION
-----------
The **checkmessage** RPC command is the counterpart to
**signmessage**: given a node id (*pubkey*), signature (*zbase*) and a
*message*, it verifies that the signature was generated by that node
for that message (more technically: by someone who knows that node's
secret).
As a special case, if *pubkey* is not specified, we will try every
known node key (as per *listnodes*), and verification succeeds if it
matches for any one of them. Note: this is implemented far more
efficiently than trying each one, so performance is not a concern.
rpc: checkmessage return an error if pubkey is not found Returning an warning message when the pub key is not specified and there is no node in the graph. We try to help people that use core lightning as a signer and nothings else. Changelog-Deprecated: rpc: checkmessage return an error when the pubkey is not specified and it is unknown in the network graph.

On failure, an error is returned and core lightning exit with the following error code:
doc: fix display of lists and code blocks in manpages. The conversion from markdown to manpages does not display lists and code blocks correctly if they are not preceded by an empty line. Changelog-None

doc: force refresh of all manpages. The idea is that you regenerate the man pages in the same commit you alter them: that's how we know whether to try regenerating them or not (git doesn't store timestamps, so it can't really tell). Travis will now check this, so force them all to sync to this commit. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
