Heinz Mauelshagen 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

lvreduce reduces the size of an LV. The freed logical extents are returned
to the VG to be used by other LVs. A copy-on-write snapshot LV can also
be reduced if less space is needed to hold COW blocks. Use
\fBlvconvert\fP(8) to change the number of data images in a RAID or
mirrored LV.
Be careful when reducing an LV's size, because data in the reduced area is
lost. Ensure that any file system on the LV is resized \fBbefore\fP
running lvreduce so that the removed extents are not in use by the file
system.
Sizes will be rounded if necessary. For example, the LV size must be an
exact number of extents, and the size of a striped segment must be a
multiple of the number of stripes.
In the usage section below, \fB--size\fP \fISize\fP can be replaced
with \fB--extents\fP \fINumber\fP. See both descriptions
the options section.
