e4ecd7cca3 doc cleanup
Began as a review of #20983, a community PR from @krumelmonster
for moving divisive-language footnotes closer to the point
where they're used. In the process, I noticed a lot of poor
markdown, mostly bad use of whitespace. Cleaned it up, added
some italic/bold/tty markdown to options, and cleaned up
some language I found confusing.

Thanks to @krumelmonster for initial PR.

d27ebf2eeb Explain that relabeling/chowning of volumes can take along time
Users are surprised when chowning large volumes how long it can take
to relabel of chown the entire directory tree. This PR updates the
documentation to explain this fact to the user.

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.

8c76738571 Man pages: refactor common options (misc)
Accumulated cleanup from the man-page deduplication effort.
Various minor things that slipped.

 --publish-all : remove duplicate "default is false" (toth @dilyanpalauzov)

 --shm-size    : rephrase 'you' and 'y'all'

 --tls-verify  : make narrower, add asterisks to true/false,
                 and linkify containers-registries.conf

  --volume     : incorporate feedback from @mheon

  rename pid.md to pid.container.md, because there's a pid.pod.md
  for the --pid option used in pod-related man pages.

  ...and some whitespace, comma, other minor edits

Fixes: #15356

3a9a7dcdcd Man pages: refactor common options: --volume
This one is a nightmare, because --volume has been edited
in four different files throughout the years (five if you
count podman-build, which I am not including in this PR).
Those edits have not always been done in sync.

The list of options was reordered 2022-06-28 by Giuseppe in #14734,
but only in podman-create and -run (not in podman-pod-*). No
explanation of why, but I'll assume he knew what he was doing,
and have accepted that for the reference copy.

There was also a big edit in #8519.

The "Propagation property...bind mounted" sentence first appeared
in pod-clone, in #14299 by cdoern, with no obvious source of where
it came from. I choose to include it in the reference copy.

The "**copy**" option seems to work in pod-create, so I'm including
it in the reference copy. Someone please yell loudly if this is
not the case.

The "disables SELinux separation for containers used in the build",
no idea, changed that to just "for the container/pod"

The "advanced users / overlay / upperdir / workdir" paragraph
makes zero sense to me, but hey, I assume it applies to all
the commands, so I put it in the reference copy.

Finally, there's still a mishmash of backticks, asterisks, underscores,
and even quotation marks. Someone is gonna have to perform major
cleanup on this one day, but at least it'll be in only one place.
