commit 229f9c23dc3fbb30a2157ccaa2d8afa91c30a3e0
Author: Sven Eckelmann <sven(a)narfation.org>

batctl: man: Convert lists to indented paragraph
The lists macro was misused to manually implement indented paragraphs with
a label. But groff already provides the .TP macro to support this directly.

If no parameter is given or the first parameter is neither "add" nor "del" the current interface settings are displayed.
In order to add or delete interfaces specify "add" or "del" as first argument and append the interface names you wish to
add or delete. Multiple interfaces can be specified.
The "\-M" option tells batctl to not automatically create the batman-adv interface on "add". It can also be used to
suppress the warning about the manual destruction when "del" removed all interfaces which belonged to it.
