doc(version): extensively revamp documentation for version subcommands
Enhanced and overhauled the documentation for the 'version' subcommand. The improvements include comprehensive details on the subcommand's behavior, usage, and a variety of scenarios it handles. Added a central section within the pkgctl-version manpage that documents the nvchecker configuration and rules. Component: pkgctl version Singled-off-by: Levente Polyak <anthraxx@archlinux.org>

Description
-----------
-Upgrade the PKGBUILD according to the latest available upstream version.
+Streamlines the process of keeping PKGBUILD files up-to-date with the latest
+upstream versions.
-Uses nvchecker, a .nvchecker.toml file and the current PKGBUILD pkgver to check
-if there is a newer package version available.
+Upon execution, it automatically adjusts the PKGBUILD file, ensuring that the
+pkgver field is set to match the latest version available from the upstream
+source. In addition to updating the pkgver, this command also resets the pkgrel
+to 1.
-The current working directory is used if no PKGBASE is specified.
+Outputs a summary of upgraded packages, up-to-date packages, and any check
+failures.
+
+This simplifies the maintenance of PKGBUILD files, reducing the manual effort
+required to track and implement version changes from upstream sources.
+
+Configuration
+-------------
+
+Uses linkman:nvchecker[1] and a `.nvchecker.toml` file located alongside the
+PKGBUILD. Refer to the configuration section in linkman:pkgctl-version[1].
