Followup to #14906, in which a nonexistent option was found
in a man page. The xref script was designed to catch that,
but I was too lax in my parsing: the option was documented
using wrong syntax, and the script didn't catch it.
Solution: do not allow *any* unrecognized cruft in the
option description lines. And fix all improperly-written
entries to conform to the rule:
**--option**=*value(s)*
Two asterisks around option, which must have two dashes. One
asterisk around value(s).
This is going to cause headaches for some people adding new
options, but I don't think I can fix that: there are many
factors that make an unparseable line. Adding 'hint' code
would make the script even more complex than it is. I have
to assume that our contributors are smart enough to look
at surrounding context and figure out the right way to
specify options.

Command flags (OPTIONS) in man pages have to date been in
haphazard order. Sometimes that order is sensible, e.g.,
most-important options first, but more often they're
just in arbitrary places. This makes life hard for users.
Here, I update the man-page-check Makefile script so it
checks and enforces alphabetical order in OPTIONS sections.
Then -- the hard part -- update all existing man pages to
conform to this requirement.

Podman logs was defined twice, once for container logs and once for pod
logs. This causes problems with the shell completion. Also podman --help
showed this command twice.

Add new CI check to confirm that links and references
in SEE ALSO sections are properly formatted and that
links are valid (at least in theory: we do no actual
URL fetching to test for 404).
The check is piggybacked into existing xref-helpmsgs-manpages
script. It could conceivably be more elegant to write a
separate tool for this purpose, but I don't wish to duplicate
the logic for finding and reading markdown files.
Script identified various problems, which I fix in this PR:
. missing '**' (asterisks) around some references, or '**'
in the wrong place.
. links pointing to github.com/.../tree/ instead of /blob/
(github redirects those automatically, but I like
consistency)
. a few copy-paste errors, e.g. subgid linking to subuid.

Commit 800a2e2d35 introduced a way to disable the conversion of `--`into
an en dash on docs.podman.io, so the ugly workaround of escaping the
dashes is no longer necessary.

PR #9856 works around a buggy markdown processor that cleverly
converts double dashes to em-dash. The unfortunate result is
that the man page source files are unmaintainable, because
every '--foo' has to be specified as '\-\-foo'. This is
impossible for humans to remember, so let's add a helpful
diagnostic message when we detect new options added without
the escapes.

Escape the two dashes, otherwise they are combined into one long dash.
I tested that this change is safe and still renders correctly on github
and with the man pages.
This commit also contains a small change to make it build locally.
Assuming you have the dependencies installed you can do:
```
cd docs
make html
```
Preview the html files in docs/build/html with
`python -m http.server 8000 --directory build/html`.

Allow automatic generation for shell completion scripts
with the internal cobra functions (requires v1.0.0+).
This should replace the handwritten completion scripts
and even adds support for fish. With this approach it is
less likley that completions and code are out of sync.
We can now create the scripts with
- podman completion bash
- podman completion zsh
- podman completion fish
To test the completion run:
source <(podman completion bash)
The same works for podman-remote and podman --remote and
it will complete your remote containers/images with
the correct endpoints values from --url/--connection.
The completion logic is written in go and provided by the
cobra library. The completion functions lives in
`cmd/podman/completion/completion.go`.
The unit test at cmd/podman/shell_completion_test.go checks
if each command and flag has an autocompletion function set.
This prevents that commands and flags have no shell completion set.
This commit does not replace the current autocompletion scripts.

Somewhere in the CIv2 migration we lost the man page vs --help
cross-checker. Add it back, by adding it into the man-page-check
Makefile target; this is part of 'make validate', which is run
in CI even on CI:DOCS PRs.
As happens when CI doesn't run, things broke. Man pages got out
of sync with --help. This PR:
1) Fixes hack/xref-helpmsgs-manpages to deal with the new
"Options" (instead of "Flags") form of podman help. #8034
did part of that, but one of my review comments was
accidentally left out.
2) Fixes hack/xref-helpmsgs-manpages to deal with the new
option syntax in man pages, post- #8292, in which each
option is preceded by four hashes so as to make them
HTML <h4> elements with named anchors.
3) Fixes man pages that #8292 accidentally missed.
4) Adds man page entries for two flags that got added
to podman but not documented (pod create --network-alias,
play kube --log-driver)
Fixes: #8296

Want to have man pages match commands, since we have lots of printed
man pages with using Options, we will change the command line to use
Options in --help.

There are a bunch of *.rst files in docs/source, linking sometimes
to man pages and sometimes to other .rst files. These files each
have entries of the following form:
:doc:`foo <link-to-foo>` Description of foo
...for all podman sub and sub-subcommands 'foo'.
Read all .rst files and make sure that:
- all entries in a given file are in alphabetical order
- all link-to-foo targets point to existing doc files
- every subcommand known by 'podman help' has a corresponding
doc entry in a .rst file

For each podman*.md file with a subcommand table (podman,
podman-container, etc), assert that the subcommand list
is sorted.
Change is bigger than it should be, because it switches from
nice clean local per-function error counting to using a nasty
global.

New hack/xref-helpmsgs-manpages script, added to CI 'gate'
task, runs 'podman [subcommand] --help' and cross-references
against man pages in docs/source/markdown/podman*.1.md
See #5453 and #5460 for instances of the problems the
script has found.
The careful reader will find an alarming number of special-case
bypasses. These are a tradeoff I am making: to get perfect
coverage with no handwaving, it would be necessary to make
drastic changes to some man pages, and I believe those would
be counterproductive.
