geomyidae.8: improve man page formatting and some lint
* Simplify and improve some nested sections. These are less portable according
to the mandoc lint warning. Change .Dl or .D1 lines to a literal block.
* Fix a few lines longer than 79 characters.
* Fix some mandoc -Tlint warnings.
* Remove an extra paragraph which added an extra line, this is an injustice.
