1141962e2a xref-helpmsgs-manpages: cross-check Commands.rst
Belated followup to #21981. (Looks like I started to add this
functionality back in 2020 but left it unfinished. Tsk tsk.)

docs/source/Commands.rst is unnecessary duplication. It _should_
be autogenerated, but I can't figure out how to cleanly add
that to our Make process. This PR is an interim cross-check
until we get that resolved:

  - everything in podman --help must have a matching entry
    in Commands.rst (top-level commands only)

  - check for dups and out-of-sequence in Commands.rst
    - also for anything in Commands.rst that is not in --help

Fix existing mismatches in Commands.rst.

Also, #21784 removed a format specifier that I was using in
regression tests. Switch to using something else, to get
test passing again. Given the fact the correct solution
is autogenerating Commands.rst, I choose not to add new
tests for the rst xref.

Also, executive decision, remove volume.rst. It is not referenced
from anywhere, it looks like a lonely orphan remnant from days
of yore.

dbe0e67897 Man pages: tighter documenting of --format fields
Initial impetus was #20958 (ps --format .Label abc). This is
a complicated solution to a simple-seeming problem.

The problem: .Label is a cobra *function*, something I did not
know about nor handle.

Solution: recognize cobra functions. Switch to __complete,
not __completeNoDesc, so we can see the number of arguments
required. Invent new man-page format for documenting functions.
And, finally, start enforcing how functions (and cobra structs)
are documented.

This discovered a never-used completion function, .Recycle(),
in podman-events. Remove it.

[NO NEW TESTS NEEDED] - the .go change is an excision of dead code.

4508620545 xref-manpages script: more regression tests
Followup to #21055: regression tests for the code that
reads man pages. These are not xref-related at all, just
simple consistency checks on the man page content.

In the process of writing these tests, I also fixed a
longstanding bug where warning messages could be emitted
multiple times, once for each time we read a man page file
(as happens with command aliases).

f90b4e79a6 Tests for xref-helpmsgs-manpages
In the process of adding new functionality to the xref script,
I realized it is much too fragile. It's too easy to make some
minor change that could break the crossrefs, giving us the
illusion of testing.

Solution: add a test suite for the script. Still incomplete,
but an important step toward building confidence.

Requires minor surgery to the script itself
