Ed Santiago 281def2647 man pages: fix inconsistencies
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
