Manpages.debian.org has been modernized

I felt that publically available manpage repositories were lacking in one aspect or another (incomplete, hard to navigate, only offering plain text), so I set out to improve an existing one: the Debian manpage web repository. Check out e.g. https://manpages.debian.org/jessie/cron/crontab.5.en.html for an interesting entry point, showcasing a couple of features.

Manpages.debian.org has been modernized launched on January 18, 2017 with 6 votes and more than 50% of that year's launches.
