1e158d273b man: fix spacing issue in various man pages
Before: libsystemd-daemonpkg-config(1)
After: libsystemd-daemon pkg-config(1)

This fix is more complicated than it should be due to the consecutive
XML elements separated by collapsible whitespace.

Merging the lines and separating the XML elements with an en space or a
non-breaking space is the only solution that results in one, and only
one, space being inserted between them when testing. An em space results
in two spaces being inserted.

bb31a4ac19 man: typo fixes
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=55890

Fixed typos, serial comma, and removed "either" as there were more
than two options. Also did an extra rename of "system-shutdown"
to "systemd-shutdown" that was forgotten in commit

16dad32e43 Reword sentences that contain psuedo-English "resp."
As you likely know, Arch Linux is in the process of moving to systemd.
So I was reading through the various systemd docs and quickly became
baffled by this new abbreviation "resp.", which I've never seen before
in my English-mother-tongue life.

Some quick Googling turned up a reference:
<http://www.transblawg.eu/index.php?/archives/870-Resp.-and-other-non-existent-English-wordsNicht-existente-englische-Woerter.html>

I guess it's a literal translation of the German "Beziehungsweise", but
English doesn't work the same way. The word "respectively" is used
exclusively to provide an ordering connection between two lists. E.g.
"the prefixes k, M, and G refer to kilo-, mega-, and giga-,
respectively." It is also never abbreviated to "resp." So the sentence
"Sets the default output resp. error output for all services and
sockets" makes no sense to a natural English speaker.

This patch removes all instances of "resp." in the man pages and
replaces them with sentences which are much more clear and, hopefully,
grammatically valid. In almost all instances, it was simply replacing
"resp." with "or," which the original author (Lennart?) could probably
just do in the future.

The only other instances of "resp." are in the src/ subtree, which I
don't feel privileged to correct.
