Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek f47ad59316 Use log "level" instead of "priority"
The term "priority" is misleading because higher levels have lower
priority. "Level" is clearer and shorter.

This commit touches only the textual descriptions, not function and variable
names themselves. "Priority" is used in various command-line switches and
protocol constants, so completly getting rid of "priority" is hard.

I also left "priority" in various places where the clarity suffered
when it was removed.

Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek 5aded36978 man: add a mapping for external manpages
It is annoying when we have dead links on fd.o.

Add project='man-pages|die-net|archlinux' to <citerefentry>-ies.

In generated html, add external links to
http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man, http://linux.die.net/man/,
https://www.archlinux.org/.

By default, pages in sections 2 and 4 go to man7, since Michael
Kerrisk is the autorative source on kernel related stuff.

The rest of links goes to linux.die.net, because they have the
manpages.

Except for the pacman stuff, since it seems to be only available from
archlinux.org.

Poor gummiboot gets no link, because gummitboot(8) ain't to be found
on the net. According to common wisdom, that would mean that it does
not exist. But I have seen Kay using it, so I know it does, and
deserves to be found. Can somebody be nice and put it up somewhere?

Jan Engelhardt 3b3d7d069d doc: balance C indirections in function prototypes
Shift the asterisks in the documentation's prototypes such that they
are consistent among each other. Use the right side to match what is
used in source code.

Addendum to commit v209~82.

Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek 6db2742802 man: replace STDOUT with standard output, etc.
Actually 'STDOUT' is something that doesn't appear anywhere: in the
stdlib we have 'stdin', and there's only the constant STDOUT_FILENO,
so there's no reason to use capitals. When refering to code,
STDOUT/STDOUT/STDERR are replaced with stdin/stdout/stderr, and in
other places they are replaced with normal phrases like standard
output, etc.

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'.]

Jason St. John 1e158d273b man: fix spacing issue in various man pages
Before: libsystemd-daemonpkg-config(1)
After: libsystemd-daemon pkg-config(1)

This fix is more complicated than it should be due to the consecutive
XML elements separated by collapsible whitespace.

Merging the lines and separating the XML elements with an en space or a
non-breaking space is the only solution that results in one, and only
one, space being inserted between them when testing. An em space results
in two spaces being inserted.

Thomas Hindoe Paaboel Andersen bb31a4ac19 man: typo fixes
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=55890

Fixed typos, serial comma, and removed "either" as there were more
than two options. Also did an extra rename of "system-shutdown"
to "systemd-shutdown" that was forgotten in commit
