The man page was updated with regard to higher --verbose levels but
not the info manual, so fix that.

72ef83cebd Fix old descriptions of Stow (#22) 
De-emphasise the package management aspects, since these days
almost everyone prefers to use modern package managers such as
rpm / dpkg / Nix for (system-wide) package management.

Also include more popular modern use cases for Stow such as management
of dotfiles and software compiled in the user's $HOME directory.

Fixes #22: https://github.com/aspiers/stow/issues/22

5a8d275c47 replace a "you" typo with better text 
The contents are prepended to the arguments; they still come after the
stow executable.
