This repository contain a facter(8) man page. This man page is generated by running `facter --man` which produce markdown and is passed to `ronn`, a ruby gem that was last updated in 2010 and bring a bunch of outdated dependencies that cause trouble with latest Ruby. In order to get rid of this legacy gem, convert the "man" template so that it output a man page directly (with proper markup), that way no conversion is needed and the page is slightly improved (it is still not the quality of hand crafted man pages, but I do not consider this an issue given the point where we start). While here, change the man page section as facter is not a system manager command, but rather a general command. Get rid of the legacy man page and generate a new one.
