New functionality in hack/man-page-checker: start cross-
referencing the man page 'Synopsis' line against the
output of 'podman foo --help'. This is part 1, flag/option
consistency. Part 2 (arg consistency) is too big and will
have to wait for later.
flag/option consistency means: if 'podman foo --help'
includes the string '[flags]' in the Usage message,
make sure the man page includes '[*options*]' in its
Synopsis line, and vice-versa. This found several
inconsistencies, which I've fixed.
While doing this I realized that Cobra automatically
includes a 'Flags:' subsection in its --help output
for all subcommands that have defined flags. This
is great - it lets us cross-check against the
usage synopsis, and make sure that '[flags]' is
present or absent as needed, without fear of
human screwups. If a flag-less subcommand ever
gets extended with flags, but the developer forgets
to add '[flags]' and remove DisableFlagsInUseLine,
we now have a test that will catch that. (This,
too, caught two instances which I fixed).
I don't actually know if the new man-page-checker
functionality will work in CI: I vaguely recall that
it might run before 'make podman' does; and also
vaguely recall that some steps were taken to remedy
that.

I wrote a script to cross-reference podman --help against
man pages. It found a bunch of inconsistencies fix them:
* options missing from man pages
* options misspelled or misformatted in man pages (usually
misplaced asterisks or missing dashes, but see --dns-opt)
* one spurious comma in the actual source file --help
This is a fix in which I iterate over 'podman CMD --help'
and check for presence in man pages. The other way around
(look for flags in man pages, check podman CMD --help)
is probably impossible: there are too many special cases

Standardize markdown for options and commands, and add leading
dollar signs to emphasize commands being run.

The conversion of markdown to man pages is causing "_" to cover entire lines.
This PR cleans this up and fixes some of the english.
