Improve man pages
Added an explanation on the type of key that is expected. Also tried to
fix layout of the path structure explanation in gitolfs3-server(1), so
that it also looks okay when rendered as a PDF. (On the PDF generated
using mandoc it still looks a bit weird, but I don't think I'll try to
solve that right now.)
