c1bfc8737f man: updates and typography
Manually enhance pages for thin, cache, raid, vdo.

Replace usage of .HP with .TP when it makes sense (but keep .HP
where so far we don't have replacement giving same visual results).

Use .CMS, .CME  macros in dmsetup/dmstats so it easy to switch
But keep using .HP when the rendering looks simply better in terminal
although HTML output does not looks that well - so we may eventually
switch here to .TP.

For basic command synopsis use .NSY macro that will
use .SY for graphical rendering (postscript/pdf) but keep
using .TP for ASCII terminal output, as here many HTML renderers
are emitting unreadable pages.

For options use '\ ' (non-breakable space) between option and
its argument and option are not across line.

Reformat lines to fit in 80 columns.

Use  .EX .. .EE  for example output - this improves
character alignment for poststrict/pdf rendering as
it use monospace fonts (unlike .nf .. .fi).
Also with Example section never let the line being with space
and use '\' for such line.
If the Example line should being with '.' it needs to be
prefix with \&.
Add .nf/.fi macros for cases where .EX & .EE are undefined
(this happens i.e. with man2html)

Avoid use of tables (.TS .. .TE) as HTML renderers often use
images (.png) files for such tables and this does not scale well
when user changes font size in browser.
(and the large/long table were split into 2 pieces
so it does fit to 80 columns).

Use .MT .ME for emails.

Use .UR .UE. for URL.

Use  .\|.\|.\& as sequence of 3 dots and add \& to not create end of
sentence and possibly wrong alignment.

On lines starting with .BR & .IR avoid using \fB \fI as this
can cause problem when i.e. html rendered may keep use
italic bold when just italic was really wanted.

When using series of .TP/.IP - set the size only with the
first tag - and let renderer align others to match the column.

Correct some small typographical rendering issues.

Rendering was evaluated for readable results with:
- mandoc -T html  (-O style=mandoc.css)
- groff  -Thtml -mman
- man2html
- man -Thtml
- man -Tps
- man

Unfortunatelly various g/troff troubles are with each of them,
so we need to select usage of macros in a way, that is not mangling
results for above engines.

Adding some missing SEE ALSO.

353718785f man: typography
With to use .TP where it's easy and doesn't change layout
(since .HP is marked as deprecated) - but .TP is not always perfetc match.

Avoid submitting empty lines to troff and replace them mostly with .P
and use '.' at line start to preserve 'visual' presence of empty line
while editing man page manually when there is no extra space needed.

Fix some markup.

Add some missing SEE ALSO section.

Drop some white-space at end-of-lines.

Improve hyphenation logic so we do not split options.

Use '.IP numbers' only with first one the row (others in row
automatically derive this value)

Use automatic enumeration for .SH titles.

95087c8f96 blkdeactivate: add blkdeactivate -r wait option to wait for MD resync/recovery/reshape
The new blkdeactivate -r|mdraidoption wait causes blkdeactivate to wait
for any resync/recovery/reshape that is currently in progress before
deactivating the device.

If this option is used, blkdeactivate calls mdadm -W|--wait before
mdadm -S|--stop.

36cac41115 man-generator/man/help: simplify hyphen escaping
Commits a29bb6a14b
    ... 5c199d99f4
narrowed down on addressing the escaping of hyphens
in the dynamic creation of manuals whilst avoiding
them in creating help texts.  This lead to a sequence
of slipping through hyphens adrressed by additional
patches in aforementioned commit series.

On the other hand, postprocessing dynamically man-generator
created and statically provided manuals catches all hyphens
in need of escaping.

Changes:
- revert the above commits whilst keeping man-generator
  streamlining and the detection of any '\' when generating
  help texts in order to avoid escapes to slip in

- Dynamically escape hyphens in manaual pages using sed(1)
  in the respective Makefile targets

- remove any manually added escaping on hyphens from any
  static manual sources or headers

ca905681cc man: Revise internal man page generation process.
For each section 8 man page, a .8_gen file is created from one of:
  .8_main            - Old-style man page - content used directly
  .8_des and .8_end  - Description and end section of a generated page
  .8_pregen	     - Pre-generated page used if the generator fails

Other man sections are not generated and use the suffix .5_main or .7_main.

Developers should use 'make generate' to regenerate the .8_pregen files.
