9164a393de man: typography fixes
Correcting some usage of Bold and Italics (files).
Adding some missing SEE ALSO.
Fixing missed replaceable paths that are configurable.
Be careful about .P in .TP sections - need to use .sp for space line.
Use .UR/.UE for URL references.

3145a85583 pvck: repair headers and metadata
To write a new/repaired pv_header and label_header:

  pvck --repairtype pv_header --file <file> <device>

This uses the metadata input file to find the PV UUID,
device size, and data offset.

To write new/repaired metadata text and mda_header:

  pvck --repairtype metadata --file <file> <device>

This requires a good pv_header which points to one or two
metadata areas.  Any metadata areas referenced by the
pv_header are updated with the specified metadata and
a new mda_header. "--settings mda_num=1|2" can be used
to select one mda to repair.

To combine all header and metadata repairs:

  pvck --repair --file <file> <device>

It's best to use a raw metadata file as input, that was
extracted from another PV in the same VG (or from another
metadata area on the same PV.)  pvck will also accept a
metadata backup file, but that will produce metadata that
is not identical to other metadata copies on other PVs
and other areas.  So, when using a backup file, consider
using it to update metadata on all PVs/areas.

To get a raw metadata file to use for the repair, see
pvck --dump metadata|metadata_search.

List all instances of metadata from the metadata area:
  pvck --dump metadata_search <device>

Save one instance of metadata at the given offset to
the specified file (this file can be used for repair):

  pvck --dump metadata_search --file <file>
    --settings "metadata_offset=<off>" <device>

52586b1039 pvck: new dump option to extract metadata
The new command 'pvck --dump metadata PV' will extract
the current version of VG metadata from a PV for testing
and debugging.  --dump metadata_area extracts the entire
text metadata area.

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.
