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. Signed-off-by: Ed Santiago <santiago@redhat.com>

Common Man Page Options
This subdirectory contains option (flag) names and descriptions
common to multiple podman man pages. Each file is one option. The
filename does not necessarily need to be identical to the option
name: for instance, hostname.container.md and hostname.pod.md
exist because the --hostname option is sufficiently different
between podman-{create,run} and podman-pod-{create,run} to
warrant living separately.
How
The files here are included in podman-*.md.in files using the @@option
mechanism:
@@option foo ! will include options/foo.md
The tool that does this is hack/markdown-preprocess. It is a python
script because it needs to run on readthedocs.io. From a given .md.in
file, this script will create a .md file that can then be read by
go-md2man, sphinx, anything that groks markdown. This runs as
part of make docs.
Special Substitutions
Some options are almost identical except for 'pod' vs 'container'
differences. For those, use <<text for pods|text for containers>>.
Order is immaterial: the important thing is the presence of the
string "pod" in one half but not the other. The correct string
will be chosen based on the filename: if the file contains -pod,
such as podman-pod-create, the string with pod (case-insensitive)
in it will be chosen.
The string <<subcommand>> will be replaced with the podman subcommand
as determined from the filename, e.g., create for podman-create.1.md.in.
This allows the shared use of examples in the option file:
Example: podman <<subcommand>> --foo --bar
As a special case, podman-pod-X becomes just X (the "pod" is removed).
This makes the pod-id-file man page more useful. To get the full
subcommand including 'pod', use <<fullsubcommand>>.
