Commit Message

Quentin Monnet Sept. 9, 2020, 4:25 p.m. UTC 
The "SEE ALSO" sections of bpftool's manual pages refer to bpf(2),
bpf-helpers(7), then all existing bpftool man pages (save the current
one).

This leads to nearly-identical lists being duplicated in all manual
pages. Ideally, when a new page is created, all lists should be updated
accordingly, but this has led to omissions and inconsistencies multiple
times in the past.

Let's take it out of the RST files and generate the "SEE ALSO" sections
automatically in the Makefile when generating the man pages. The lists
are not really useful in the RST anyway because all other pages are
available in the same directory.

v2:
- Use "echo -n" instead of "printf" in Makefile, to avoid any risk of
  passing a format string directly to the command.

This patch failed to git am, but I've applied the first two patches.

Right, there is a conflict with the other patchset passing
$(RST2MAN_OPTS) to rst2man when building the doc. I'll rebase and
repost this one. Thank you Alexei.
