JDK-8273179 - Update nroff pages in JDK 18 before RC
Description
The javadoc manpage (nroff version) was just updated with changes made in earlier issues like JDK-8275146, and as a result of these updates the test:

langtools/jdk/javadoc/tool/CheckManPageOptions.java

is now failing.

I suspect formatting changes have disrupted what the test is looking for.

> I suspect formatting changes have disrupted what the test is looking for. No, the formatting is OK; there was a built-in list of command-line options that were known to be missing on the man page, which are now not missing.
