Andrew Cooper 8410fcb54a docs/man: Fix/simplify generation of manpages
The original intent of this patch was to rename xen-vbd-interface.markdown.7
to xen-vbd-interface.pandoc.7 to remove the final markdown file from the docs/
tree.

The DOC_MANx lists are broken.  They contain MANxSRC-y twice, the first half
with a partial %.pod substituation, and the second half with a partial
%.markdown substitution.  This is also the root cause behind the filtering
activity in the uninstall-man$(i)-pages rule.

Furthermore, the logic for generating the manpage targets is unnecesserily
repetative, owing to the layout of source files in the man/ directory.

Therefore, tackle the problem by renaming all of our manpage source files from
"$FORMAT.$SECTION" to "$SECTION.$FORMAT".  For the two xl.cfg.5 and xl.1 which
are preprocessed by autoconf to contain path information, this requires
updating configure.ac and .gitignore.  The markdown to pandoc conversion is
performed as well, as it is also a straight rename.

An ancillary benefit of this renaming is that text editors stand a chance of
being able to work out the correct mode to use.

As for the makefile:

1) Break the MAN_SECTIONS list out of the GENERATE_MANPAGE_RULES loop, as we
   are going to use it a second time.
2) Do away with the individaul MANxSRC-y variables.  Use a single list,
   derived from all *.pod and *.pandoc files, with their format suffixes
   removed.
3) Use a $(foreach ...) to generate the DOC_MANx lists, filling them with the
   correct content.
4) The DOC_HTML and DOC_TXT can now include all manpages with a single
   substitution, as they don't need to separate the manpages by
   section-numbered-directory.
5) Fix up the filenames in the manpage metarule to match the renaming.

No functional change.

=head1 NAME
xlcpupool.cfg - XL Cpupool Configuration File Syntax
=head1 SYNOPSIS
/etc/xen/xlcpupool
=head1 DESCRIPTION
To create a Cpupool with xl requires the provision of a cpupool config
file. Typically these live in `/etc/xen/CPUPOOL.cfg` where CPUPOOL is
the name of the cpupool.
=head1 SYNTAX
A cpupool config file consists of a series of C<KEY=VALUE> pairs.
A value C<VALUE> is one of:
=over 4
=item B<"STRING">
A string, surrounded by either single or double quotes.
=item B<NUMBER>
A number, in either decimal, octal (using a C<0> prefix) or
hexadecimal (using an C<0x> prefix).
=item B<[ VALUE, VALUE, ... ]>
A list of C<VALUES> of the above types. Lists are homogeneous and are
not nested.
=back
The semantics of each C<KEY> defines which form of C<VALUE> is required.
=head1 OPTIONS
=head2 Mandatory Configuration Items
The following key is mandatory for any cpupool:
=over 4
=item B<name="NAME">
Specifies the name of the cpupool. Names of cpupools existing on a
single host must be unique.
=back
=head2 Optional Configuration Items
The following options apply to guests of any type.
=over 4
=item B<sched="SCHED">
Specifies the scheduler which is used for the cpupool. Valid
values for C<SCHED> are:
=over 4
=item B<credit>
the credit scheduler
=item B<credit2>
the credit2 scheduler
=item B<rtds>
the RTDS scheduler
=back
The default scheduler is the one used for C<Pool-0> specified as
boot parameter of the hypervisor.
=item B<nodes="NODES">
Specifies the cpus of the NUMA-nodes given in C<NODES> (an integer or
a list of integers) to be member of the cpupool. The free cpus in the
specified nodes are allocated in the new cpupool.
=item B<cpus="CPU-LIST">
Specifies the cpus that will be member of the cpupool. All the specified
cpus must be free, or creation will fail. C<CPU-LIST> may be specified
as follows:
=over 4
=item ["2", "3", "5"]
means that cpus 2,3,5 will be member of the cpupool.
=item "0-3,5,^1"
means that cpus 0,2,3 and 5 will be member of the cpupool. A "node:" or
"nodes:" modifier can be used. E.g., "0,node:1,nodes:2-3,^10-13" means
that pcpus 0, plus all the cpus of NUMA nodes 1,2,3 with the exception
of cpus 10,11,12,13 will be memeber of the cpupool.
=back
If neither B<nodes> nor B<cpus> are specified only the first free cpu
found will be allocated in the new cpupool.
