There is quite some value (in terms of readability and user
expectations) if consistent names are used for the sections
within manual pages. This patch is one of a series to bring
about this consistency.

Currently we have STANDARDS (3) or CONFORMING TO (6).
Let's standardize on the latter (which is also what is
suggested in man-pages(7)).
