Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek 5aded36978 man: add a mapping for external manpages
It is annoying when we have dead links on fd.o.

Add project='man-pages|die-net|archlinux' to <citerefentry>-ies.

In generated html, add external links to
http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man, http://linux.die.net/man/,
https://www.archlinux.org/.

By default, pages in sections 2 and 4 go to man7, since Michael
Kerrisk is the autorative source on kernel related stuff.

The rest of links goes to linux.die.net, because they have the
manpages.

Except for the pacman stuff, since it seems to be only available from
archlinux.org.

Poor gummiboot gets no link, because gummitboot(8) ain't to be found
on the net. According to common wisdom, that would mean that it does
not exist. But I have seen Kay using it, so I know it does, and
deserves to be found. Can somebody be nice and put it up somewhere?

<title>Description</title>
<para><filename>systemd-ask-password-console.service</filename>
is a system service that queries the user for system
passwords (such as hard disk encryption keys and SSL
certificate passphrases) on the console. It is
intended to be used during boot to ensure proper
handling of passwords necessary for
boot. <filename>systemd-ask-password-wall.service</filename>
is a system service that informs all logged in users
for system passwords via
<citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>wall</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>. It
is intended to be used after boot to ensure that users
are properly notified.</para>
<para>See the <ulink
url="http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/PasswordAgents">
developer documentation</ulink> for more information
about the system password logic.</para>
<para>Note that these services invoke
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-tty-ask-password-agent</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
with either the <command>--watch --console</command>
or <command>--watch --wall</command> command line
parameters.</para>
