Resolve groff syntax errors and undefined macros

This patch corrects formatting issues in multiple Slurm man pages:

Replaces incorrect quote sequences '\fB-v\fR' with proper formatting \&'\fB-v\fR' for the -v/--verbose option in salloc.1, sattach.1, sbatch.1, and srun.1.

Fixes missing or incorrect macro usage in slurm.conf.5 and spank.7 to ensure proper spacing and display (.NR → .IP and .SP → _).

Thanks for pointing those out. We've checked in fixes for those items, using slightly different solutions based on conventions already in place on our man pages in general. These fixes will be included in the next minor release, 25.11.5.

Let us know if you notice any other issues with the docs.

Best regards,
Stephen
