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?
