Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek fdbbee37d5 man: drop unused <authorgroup> tags from man sources
Docbook styles required those to be present, even though the templates that we
use did not show those names anywhere. But something changed semi-recently (I
would suspect docbook templates, but there was only a minor version bump in
recent years, and the changelog does not suggest anything related), and builds
now work without those entries. Let's drop this dead weight.

Tested with F26-F29, debian unstable.

<listitem><para>Show current settings of the system clock and RTC,
including whether network time synchronization through
<filename>systemd-timesyncd.service</filename> is active. Even if it is
inactive, a different service might still synchronize the clock.
If no command is specified, this is the implied default.

<term><command>show</command></term>
<listitem><para>Show the same information as <option>status</option>, but in machine readable form.

Use <option>status</option> if you are looking for formatted human-readable output.</para>
<para>By default, empty properties are suppressed. Use <option>--all</option> to show those too.
To select specific properties to show, use <option>--property=</option>.</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><command>set-time [TIME]</command></term>
<listitem><para>Set the system clock to the specified time.
This will also update the RTC time accordingly. The time may
be specified in the format "2012-10-30
18:17:16".</para></listitem>

<varlistentry>
<term><command>set-timezone [TIMEZONE]</command></term>
<listitem><para>Set the system time zone to the specified
value. Available timezones can be listed with
<command>list-timezones</command>. If the RTC is configured to
be in the local time, this will also update the RTC time. This
call will alter the <filename>/etc/localtime</filename>
symlink. See
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>localtime</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
for more information.</para></listitem>

Entries from the list can be set as the system timezone with
<command>set-timezone</command>.</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><command>set-local-rtc [BOOL]</command></term>
<listitem><para>Takes a boolean argument. If
<literal>0</literal>, the system is configured to maintain the
RTC in universal time. If <literal>1</literal>, it will
maintain the RTC in local time instead. Note that maintaining
the RTC in the local timezone is not fully supported and will
create various problems with time zone changes and daylight
saving adjustments. If at all possible, keep the RTC in UTC
mode. Note that invoking this will also synchronize the RTC
from the system clock, unless
<option>--adjust-system-clock</option> is passed (see above).
This command will change the 3rd line of
<filename>/etc/adjtime</filename>, as documented in
<citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>hwclock</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>.

<term><command>set-ntp [BOOL]</command></term>
<listitem><para>Takes a boolean argument. Controls whether network time synchronization is active
and enabled (if available). If the argument is true, this enables and starts the first existed
service listed in the environment variable <varname>$SYSTEMD_TIMEDATED_NTP_SERVICES</varname>
