doc(version): extensively revamp documentation for version subcommands
Enhanced and overhauled the documentation for the 'version' subcommand. The improvements include comprehensive details on the subcommand's behavior, usage, and a variety of scenarios it handles. Added a central section within the pkgctl-version manpage that documents the nvchecker configuration and rules. Component: pkgctl version Singled-off-by: Levente Polyak <anthraxx@archlinux.org>

-which this package could possibly be upgraded.
+Compares the versions of packages in the local packaging repository against

-The current working directory is used if no PKGBASE is specified.
+Upon execution, it generates a grouped list that provides detailed insights

+Outputs a summary of up-to-date packages, out-of-date packages, and any check
+failures.

+This simplifies the maintenance of PKGBUILD files, reducing the manual effort

Configuration
-------------
-To provide GitHub or GitLab tokens to nvchecker, a `keyfile.toml` will be

-See the section on configuration files in linkman:nvchecker[1] for possible options
