Touch up XDG, add rootless links

Touch up a number of formating issues for XDG_RUNTIME_DIRS in a number
of man pages.  Make use of the XDG_CONFIG_HOME environment variable
in a rootless environment if available, or set it if not.

Also added a number of links to the Rootless Podman config page and
added the location of the auth.json files to that doc.

 Almost all normal Podman functionality is available, though there are some [shortcomings](https://github.com/containers/libpod/blob/master/rootless.md).
 Any recent Podman release should be able to run rootless without any additional configuration, though your operating system may require some additional configuration detailed in the [install guide](https://github.com/containers/libpod/blob/master/install.md).
 
+A little configuration by an administrator is required before rootless Podman can be used, the necessary setup is documented [here](https://github.com/containers/libpod/blob/master/docs/tutorials/rootless_tutorial.md).
