Ed Santiago c6090c290e Docs: consistency between man / --help
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.

## NAME
podman\-manifest\-annotate - Add or update information about an entry in a manifest list or image index
## SYNOPSIS
**podman manifest annotate** [*options*] *listnameorindexname* *imagemanifestdigest*
## DESCRIPTION
Adds or updates information about an image included in a manifest list or image index.
## OPTIONS
**--annotation** *annotation=value*
Set an annotation on the entry for the specified image.
**--arch**
Override the architecture which the list or index records as a requirement for
the image. This is usually automatically retrieved from the image's
configuration information, so it is rarely necessary to use this option.
**--features**
Specify the features list which the list or index records as requirements for
the image. This option is rarely used.
**--os**
Override the OS which the list or index records as a requirement for the image.
This is usually automatically retrieved from the image's configuration
information, so it is rarely necessary to use this option.
**--os-features**
Specify the OS features list which the list or index records as requirements
for the image. This option is rarely used.
**--os-version**
Specify the OS version which the list or index records as a requirement for the
image. This option is rarely used.
**--variant**
Specify the variant which the list or index records for the image. This option
is typically used to distinguish between multiple entries which share the same
architecture value, but which expect different versions of its instruction set.
## EXAMPLE
```
podman manifest annotate --arch arm64 --variant v8 mylist:v1.11 sha256:59eec8837a4d942cc19a52b8c09ea75121acc38114a2c68b98983ce9356b8610
