Jason St. John e9dd9f9547 man: improve grammar and word formatting in numerous man pages
Use proper grammar, word usage, adjective hyphenation, commas,
capitalization, spelling, etc.

To improve readability, some run-on sentences or sentence fragments were
revised.

[zj: remove the space from 'file name', 'host name', and 'time zone'.]

Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek 56ba3c78ae build-sys: create Makefile-man.am automatically
man rules were repeating the same information in too many places,
which was error prone. Those rules can be easily generated from .xml
files. For efficiency and because python is not a required dependency,
Makefile-man.am is only regenerated when requested with

  make update-man-list

If no metadata in man/*.xml changed, this file should not change. So
only when a new man page or a new alias is added, this file should
show up in 'git diff'. The change should then be committed.

If the support for building from git without python was dropped, we
could drop Makefile-man.am from version control. This would also
increase the partial build time (since more stuff would be rebuild
whenever sources in man/*.xml would be modified), so it would probably
wouldn't be worth it.

Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek ccc9a4f9ff man: extend systemd.directives(7) to all manual pages
New sections are added: PAM options, crypttab options, commandline
options, miscellaneous. The last category will be used for all
untagged <varname> elements.

Commandline options sections is meant to be a developer tool: when
adding an option it is sometimes useful to be able to check if
similarly named options exist elsewhere.
