c9c2f644da markdown-preprocess: cross-reference where opts are used
In each options/foo.md, keep a list of where the option is used.
This will be valuable to anyone making future edits, and to
those reviewing those edits.

This may be a controversial commit, because those crossref lists
are autogenerated as a side effect of the script that reads them.
It definitely violates POLA. And one day, some kind person will
reconcile (e.g.) --label, using it in more man pages, and maybe
forget to git-commit the rewritten file, and CI will fail.

I think this is a tough tradeoff, but worth doing. Without this,
it's much too easy for someone to change an option file in a way
that renders it inapplicable/misleading for some podman commands.

f0e8640755 Man pages: refactor common options: authfile
Refactor the --authfile option.

My suggestion for review:
  1) run hack/markdown-preprocess-review and immediately Ctrl-Q to
     quit out of diffuse, which is completely unusable for this
     many files; then
  2) cd /tmp/markdown-preprocess-review.diffs/authfile
     - this is the directory created by the review script
  3) rm podman-image-sign* podman-log* podman-search.1.md.in
     - because they're essentially identical to podman-create
  4) rm podman-manifest-* podman-push.*
     - because they're 100% identical to podman-kube-play
  5) rm podman-kube-play*
     - because it's apart-from-whitespace identical to podman-build
       (use "wdiff" to confirm)
  6) rm podman-auto-update*
     - because that's the one I chose (hence == zzz-chosen.md)

(You should obviously run your own diff/cmp before rm, to confirm
my assertions about which files are identical).

After all that, you have a manageable number of files which
you can scan, read, diff against zzz-chosen.md, even run diffuse.

This option is IMHO the poster child for why we need this kind
of man page refactoring.
