Subject: [PATCH] proc.5: Refer to split out manpages for detailed description
Back in August 2023 various parts of proc(5) were split out int separate
manpages. The final cleanup in 92cdcec79df0 ("proc.5: Clean up after
making sashimi of this page") missed to as well refer to the split out
manpages and retained the wording that details are found further below
in the manpages for the various files.
Fixes: 92cdcec79df0 ("proc.5: Clean up after making sashimi of this page")
