Anastasia Klimchuk has uploaded this change for review.
doc: Add manpage entries for nic3com, gfxnvidia, satasii
These programmers have a little information about them on wiki.
It's too little info to create a dedicated page for each
programmer, however info can go to the manpage.
For reference, wiki pages are the following:
https://wiki.flashrom.org/NIC3Com
https://wiki.flashrom.org/Gfxnvidia
https://wiki.flashrom.org/Supported_programmers (search for the
programmers in the table).
