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.

<title>Description</title>
<para><command>systemd-logind</command> is a system service that
manages user logins. It is responsible for:</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem><para>Keeping track of users and sessions, their processes and their idle state. This is implemented by
allocating a systemd slice unit for each user below <filename>user.slice</filename>, and a scope unit below it
for each concurrent session of a user. Also, a per-user service manager is started as system service instance of
<filename>user@.service</filename> for each logged in user.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Generating and managing session IDs. If auditing is available and an audit session ID is already set for
a session, then this ID is reused as the session ID. Otherwise, an independent session counter is
used.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Providing PolicyKit-based access for users for
operations such as system shutdown or sleep</para></listitem>

for applications</para></listitem>
