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

lvm2-activation-generator - generator for systemd units to activate LVM2 volumes on boot
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B #SYSTEMD_GENERATOR_DIR#/lvm2-activation-generator
.sp
.SH DESCRIPTION
The lvm2-activation-generator is called by \fBsystemd\fP(1) on boot
to generate systemd units at runtime to activate LVM2 volumes if
\fBlvmetad\fP(8) is disabled (global/use_lvmetad=0 \fBlvm.conf\fP(5)
option is used). Otherwise, if \fBlvmetad\fP(8) is enabled,
the lvm2-activation-generator exits immediately without generating
any systemd units and LVM2 fully relies on event-based activation
to activate the LVM2 volumes instead using the \fBpvscan\fP(8)
(pvscan --cache -aay) call that is a part of \fBudev\fP(8) rules.
These systemd units are generated by lvm2-activation-generator:
.sp
\fIlvm2-activation-early.service\fP
used for activation of LVM2 volumes that is ordered before systemd's
special \fBcryptsetup.target\fP to support LVM2 volumes which are not
layered on top of encrypted devices.
\fIlvm2-activation.service\fP
used for activation of LVM2 volumes that is ordered after systemd's
special \fBcryptsetup.target\fP to support LVM2 volumes which are
layered on top of encrypted devices.
\fIlvm2-activation-net.service\fP
used for activation of LVM2 volumes that is ordered after systemd's
special \fBremote-fs-pre.target\fP to support LVM2 volumes which are
layered on attached remote devices.
Note that all the underlying devices (Physical Volumes) need to be present
when the service is run. If the there are any devices presented in the system
anytime later, any LVM2 volumes on top of such devices need to be activated
directly by \fBlvchange\fP(8) or \fBvgchange\fP(8). This limitation does
not exist when using \fBlvmetad\fP(8) and accompanying event-based activation
since such LVM volumes are activated automatically as soon as the Volume Group
is ready (all the Physical Volumes making up the Volume Group are present
in the system).
The lvm2-activation-generator implements the \fBGenerators Specification\fP
as referenced in \fBsystemd\fP(1).
