rst2man: avoid italic for references

The links to other manpages used both italic and bold text nested
within each other. The \fP (select previous font) macro was used
incorrectly to "reset" the nested fonts resulting in:

  <roman> text <italic> <bold> hg <italic> (1) <bold> more text

with no switch back to roman. This stops the bleeding and removes the
ugly italic (underline) from the manpage links.

 """
 Simple man page writer for reStructuredText.
 
 Man pages (short for "manual pages") contain system documentation on unix-like
 systems. The pages are grouped in numbered sections: 
 
  1 executable programs and shell commands
  2 system calls
  3 library functions
  4 special files
  5 file formats
  6 games
  7 miscellaneous
  8 system administration
 
 Man pages are written *troff*, a text file formatting system.
 
 See http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Man-Page for a start.
 
 Man pages have no subsection only parts.
 Standard parts
 
   NAME ,
   SYNOPSIS ,
   DESCRIPTION ,
   OPTIONS ,
   FILES ,
   SEE ALSO ,
   BUGS ,
 
 and
 
   AUTHOR .
 
 A unix-like system keeps an index of the DESCRIPTIONs, which is accesable
 by the command whatis or apropos.
