Paul Holzinger bc48211924 Fix long option format on docs.podman.io
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`.

Fixes containers/podman.io#373

NAME

podman-secret-create - Create a new secret

SYNOPSIS

podman secret create [options] name file|-

DESCRIPTION

Creates a secret using standard input or from a file for the secret content.

Create accepts a path to a file, or -, which tells podman to read the secret from stdin

A secret is a blob of sensitive data which a container needs at runtime but should not be stored in the image or in source control, such as usernames and passwords, TLS certificates and keys, SSH keys or other important generic strings or binary content (up to 500 kb in size).

Secrets will not be commited to an image with podman commit, and will not be in the archive created by a podman export

OPTIONS

--driver=driver

Specify the secret driver (default file, which is unencrypted).

--help

Print usage statement.

EXAMPLES

$ podman secret create my_secret ./secret.json
$ podman secret create --driver=file my_secret ./secret.json
$ printf <secret> | podman secret create my_secret -
