rS367077: renice(8): Clarify "who" parameters.
Summary

There was a question raised in freebsd-questions@ mail list[1] about the "who"
parameters in this man page. It followed with some criticism about the choice of
words and the arcane language.

It seems OpenBSD[2] amd NetBSD[3] both have more legible descriptions so I
borrowed some of their ideas to try and make this page clearer.

[2] https://man.bsd.lv/renice
[3] https://man.netbsd.org/renice.8

Test Plan
  • mandoc -Tlint clean
  • igor clean
  • aspell happy
  • man ./renice.8 renders the page properly
