docs: touch up manual page
As the manual page has been last updated in 2004, some sections are outdated. This commit updates the option list, the link to the Nautilus online page, adds a bugs section and tweaks the formatting to make the source more readable. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=733909
