Add draft of OX setup manpage
This man page should help people to set up OX in profanity. We have profanity-ox.1 which is the same as `/help ox` and describes how to use OX. This man page will help with the setup with the external gpg program. Based on the blogpost of Stefan: https://profanity-im.github.io/blog/post/openpgp-for-xmpp-ox/
