man/man7/man-pages.7: Stop telling contributors to write titles in all caps

Recently, I submitted my first patch to the Linux man-pages project.  In
my patch, I had created a new manual page.  On the manual page’s title
line, I had written the title of my new page in all caps because
man-pages(7) said that I should write it that way.  It turns out that
man-pages(7) was wrong and that the title on the title line should have
matched the title in the manual page’s filename [1][2].  This commit
corrects man-pages(7) so that it does not tell contributors to use all
caps when writing titles on title lines.
