Ed Santiago 9b0c8d23bd man pages: sort flags, and keep them that way
Command flags (OPTIONS) in man pages have to date been in
haphazard order. Sometimes that order is sensible, e.g.,
most-important options first, but more often they're
just in arbitrary places. This makes life hard for users.

Here, I update the man-page-check Makefile script so it
checks and enforces alphabetical order in OPTIONS sections.
Then -- the hard part -- update all existing man pages to
conform to this requirement.
