commit b55de3d1a257d5e0232e081e402532ef68fcedaf

    Add mandoc-manpage for chmod(1)
    
    and mark it as finished in README.
    
    One small rationale on the way the manpage is set up: Looking at
    the coreutils manpage, it does not invite to be a quick reference
    guide, whereas I wrote this manpage to be short and concise in regard
    to the information the advanced user needs.
    No one needs to explain what an octal number is. That's not part of
    the scope of this manpage.
    Also, nobody wants to read a block of text just to find out how
    to build an octal mode string.
