When an empty volume is mounted into a container, Docker will
chown that volume appropriately for use in the container. Podman
does this as well, but there are differences in the details. In
Podman, a chown is presently a one-and-done deal; in Docker, it
will continue so long as the volume remains empty. Mount into a
dozen containers, but never add content, the chown occurs every
time. The chown is also linked to copy-up; it will always occur
when a copy-up occurred, despite the volume now not being empty.
This PR changes our logic to (mostly) match Docker's.
For some reason, the chowning also stops if the volume is chowned
to root at any point. This feels like a Docker bug, but as they
say, bug for bug compatible.
In retrospect, using bools for NeedsChown and NeedsCopyUp was a
mistake. Docker isn't actually tracking this stuff; they're just
doing a copy-up and permissions change unconditionally as long as
the volume is empty. They also have the two linked as one
operation, seemingly, despite happening at very different times
during container init. Replicating that in our stateful system is
nontrivial, hence the need for the new CopiedUp field. Basically,
we never want to chown a volume with contents in it, except if
that data is a result of a copy-up that resulted from mounting
into the current container. Tracking who did the copy-up is the
easiest way to do this.

On Mac and Windows systems the --latest option is not supported
this PR mentions this fact in the examples section of the man page.
Also added documentation and consistency to the man pages examples
sections.

Initial impetus was #20958 (ps --format .Label abc). This is
a complicated solution to a simple-seeming problem.
The problem: .Label is a cobra *function*, something I did not
know about nor handle.
Solution: recognize cobra functions. Switch to __complete,
not __completeNoDesc, so we can see the number of arguments
required. Invent new man-page format for documenting functions.
And, finally, start enforcing how functions (and cobra structs)
are documented.
This discovered a never-used completion function, .Recycle(),
in podman-events. Remove it.
[NO NEW TESTS NEEDED] - the .go change is an excision of dead code.

Followup to #14906, in which a nonexistent option was found
in a man page. The xref script was designed to catch that,
but I was too lax in my parsing: the option was documented
using wrong syntax, and the script didn't catch it.
Solution: do not allow *any* unrecognized cruft in the
option description lines. And fix all improperly-written
entries to conform to the rule:
**--option**=*value(s)*
Two asterisks around option, which must have two dashes. One
asterisk around value(s).
This is going to cause headaches for some people adding new
options, but I don't think I can fix that: there are many
factors that make an unparseable line. Adding 'hint' code
would make the script even more complex than it is. I have
to assume that our contributors are smart enough to look
at surrounding context and figure out the right way to
specify options.

Commit 800a2e2d35 introduced a way to disable the conversion of `--`into
an en dash on docs.podman.io, so the ugly workaround of escaping the
dashes is no longer necessary.
Signed-off-by: Paul Holzinger <paul.holzinger@web.de>
Escape the two dashes, otherwise they are combined into one long dash.
I tested that this change is safe and still renders correctly on github
and with the man pages.
This commit also contains a small change to make it build locally.
Assuming you have the dependencies installed you can do:
```
cd docs
make html
```
Preview the html files in docs/build/html with
`python -m http.server 8000 --directory build/html`.

Somewhere in the CIv2 migration we lost the man page vs --help
cross-checker. Add it back, by adding it into the man-page-check
Makefile target; this is part of 'make validate', which is run
in CI even on CI:DOCS PRs.
As happens when CI doesn't run, things broke. Man pages got out
of sync with --help. This PR:
1) Fixes hack/xref-helpmsgs-manpages to deal with the new
"Options" (instead of "Flags") form of podman help. #8034
did part of that, but one of my review comments was
accidentally left out.
2) Fixes hack/xref-helpmsgs-manpages to deal with the new
option syntax in man pages, post- #8292, in which each
option is preceded by four hashes so as to make them
HTML <h4> elements with named anchors.
3) Fixes man pages that #8292 accidentally missed.
4) Adds man page entries for two flags that got added
to podman but not documented (pod create --network-alias,
play kube --log-driver)
Fixes: #8296

Change the docs markdown so that flag names will be h4 headers.
Sphinx will automatically add anchors to headers. Add css to
make sure the flag names are not to big compared to the text.
The man pages also still renders fine but it looks a bit different.

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
