Subject: 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

 Description
 -----------
 
-Uses nvchecker, a .nvchecker.toml file and the version specified in the current
-PKGBUILDs pkgver to check if there is a newer package version available to
-which this package could possibly be upgraded.
+Compares the versions of packages in the local packaging repository against
+their latest upstream versions.
 
-The current working directory is used if no PKGBASE is specified.
+Upon execution, it generates a grouped list that provides detailed insights
+into each package's status. For each package, it displays the current local
+version alongside the latest version available upstream.
+
+Outputs a summary of up-to-date packages, out-of-date packages, and any check
+failures.
+
+This simplifies the maintenance of PKGBUILD files, reducing the manual effort
+required to track version changes from upstream sources.
 
 Configuration
 -------------
 
-To provide GitHub or GitLab tokens to nvchecker, a `keyfile.toml` will be
-supplied from `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME`/nvchecker.
-
-See the section on configuration files in linkman:nvchecker[1] for possible options
-which can be utilized in .nvchecker.toml.
+Uses linkman:nvchecker[1] and a `.nvchecker.toml` file located alongside the
+PKGBUILD. Refer to the configuration section in linkman:pkgctl-version[1].
