powerd.8: Improve style & fix typos
- Sort options. - Do not use macros (like .Ar) to specify width for Bl (macros within that string are not expanded). - Use Cm instead of Ar for mode names. - Fix some typos reported by mandoc. - Move the documentation of the PID file from the -P flag description to the FILES section.
