Alan Jenkins 8e534e2a47 man: fix unused, inaccurate metadata
Dates aren't shown in the manpages.  So they are not really useful,
and no-one is going to remember to update them.

"<refmiscinfo class="version"></refmiscinfo>" sounds even less useful.

I leave the unused "title" and "productname" tags.  They could
theoretically be useful, and aren't hard to maintain.  We just need to
fix the "title" for udevadm.

<refsect1><title>DESCRIPTION</title>
<para>udevd listens to kernel uevents and passes the incoming events to
udev. It ensures the correct event order and takes care, that events for child
devices are delayed until the parent event has finished the device handling.
The behavior of the running daemon can be changed with
<command>udevadm control</command>.</para>

<para>Specify when udevd should resolve names of users and groups.

resolved when the rules are parsed. When set to

When set to <option>never</option> names will never be resolved
and all devices will be owned by root.</para>
