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.

Guidelines in-use:

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.
