e9dd9f9547 man: improve grammar and word formatting in numerous man pages
Use proper grammar, word usage, adjective hyphenation, commas,
capitalization, spelling, etc.

To improve readability, some run-on sentences or sentence fragments were
revised.

[zj: remove the space from 'file name', 'host name', and 'time zone'.]

a7f5bb1eaf man: Make options consistent
Option listings seemed to be pretty much random, some were short opt,
long opt, others were long opt, short opt. This just makes every option
with a short and long opt that I could find in the order short opt, long
opt, for formatting's sake.

56ba3c78ae build-sys: create Makefile-man.am automatically
man rules were repeating the same information in too many places,
which was error prone. Those rules can be easily generated from .xml
files. For efficiency and because python is not a required dependency,
Makefile-man.am is only regenerated when requested with

  make update-man-list

If no metadata in man/*.xml changed, this file should not change. So
only when a new man page or a new alias is added, this file should
show up in 'git diff'. The change should then be committed.

If the support for building from git without python was dropped, we
could drop Makefile-man.am from version control. This would also
increase the partial build time (since more stuff would be rebuild
whenever sources in man/*.xml would be modified), so it would probably
wouldn't be worth it.

ccc9a4f9ff man: extend systemd.directives(7) to all manual pages
New sections are added: PAM options, crypttab options, commandline
options, miscellaneous. The last category will be used for all
untagged <varname> elements.

Commandline options sections is meant to be a developer tool: when
adding an option it is sometimes useful to be able to check if
similarly named options exist elsewhere.

be1015dd34 man: throw in an example of timedatectl output
timedatectl is too cool not to advertise it a bit.

c978343015 timedatectl: rename --fix-system to --adjust-system-clock
Quite long to read but hopefully less misleading.

6d0274f115 timedatectl: introduce new command line client for timedated
Much like logind has a client in loginctl, and journald in journalctl
introduce timedatectl, to change the system time (incl. RTC), timezones
and related settings.
