doc/*.6: Tweak copyright notices in man pages
Use *roff special character `\(co` for copyright sign. This special character identifier is _almost_ universally portable, dating back to Ossanna troff in 1976.[1] The exception is Plan 9 nroff, which claims to be thoroughly UTF-8 oriented and should be able to render a copyright sign.[2] If no glyph for the character is available, the output device driver degrades it to "c" (which is technically correct[3]), except for groff, which falls back to "(C)"[4] only on its "ascii" output device. All of groff's other devices have a a proper copyright sign.[5] References: [1] https://archive.org/details/unix-programmers-manual-seventh-edition-vol-2-1983/ (pp. 196ff., see esp.
