Implement proper synopsis wrapping for HTML generation.

This was done in three pieces.  First, add HTML-specific tags to the POD to
mark the synopsis for HTML purposes so that we can apply style information
to it.  Second, update the style sheet to indent all lines except for the
first in the synopsis section.  Third, add the appropriate S<> tags around
option and argument pairs so that we don't wrap between the option and its
argument.

Unfortunately, due to the <I<foo>> style that looks nicer for other reasons,
we have to use the very verbose S<<< >>>.  Oh well.

=head1 DESCRIPTION
The B<vos listvldb> command formats and displays information from the
Volume Location Database (VLDB) entry for each volume specified. The
output depends on the combination of options supplied on the command
line. Combine options as indicated to display the desired type of VLDB
entries:
=over 4
=item *
Every entry in the VLDB: provide no options.
=item *
Every VLDB entry that mentions a certain file server machine as the site
for a volume: specify the machine's name as the B<-server> argument.
=item *
Every VLDB entry that mentions a certain partition on any file server
machine as the site for a volume: specify the partition name as the
B<-partition> argument.
=item *
Every VLDB entry that mentions a certain partition on a certain file
server machine as the site for a volume: combine the B<-server> and
B<-partition> arguments.
=item *
A single VLDB entry: specify a volume name or ID number with the B<-name>
argument.
=item *
The VLDB entry only for the volumes with locked VLDB entries found at a
certain site: combine the B<-locked> flag with any of arguments that
define sites.
=back
=head1 OPTIONS
=over 4
=item B<-name> <I<volume name or ID>>
Specifies either the complete name or volume ID number of a volume of any
of the three types.
=item B<-server> <I<server name>>
Identifies the file server machine listed as a site in each VLDB entry to
display. Provide the machine's IP address or its host name (either fully
qualified or using an unambiguous abbreviation). For details, see
L<vos(1)>.
This argument can be combined with the B<-partition> argument, the
B<-locked> flag, or both.
=item B<-partition> <I<partition name>>
Identifies the partition (on the file server machine specified by the
B<-server> argument) listed as a site in each VLDB entry to
display. Provide the partition's complete name with preceding slash (for
example, C</vicepa>) or use one of the three acceptable abbreviated
forms. For details, see L<vos(1)>.
This argument can be combined with the B<-server> argument, the B<-locked>
flag, or both.
=item B<-locked>
Displays only locked VLDB entries. This flag can be combined with the
B<-server> argument, the B<-partition> argument, or both.
=item B<-quiet>
Suppresses the lines that summarize the number of volumes listed and their
status, which otherwise appear at the beginning and end of the output when
the output includes more than one volume.
=item B<-nosort>
Suppresses the default sorting of volume entries alphabetically by volume
name.
=item B<-cell> <I<cell name>>
Names the cell in which to run the command. Do not combine this argument
with the B<-localauth> flag. For more details, see L<vos(1)>.
=item B<-noauth>
Assigns the unprivileged identity C<anonymous> to the issuer. Do not
combine this flag with the B<-localauth> flag. For more details, see
L<vos(1)>.
=item B<-localauth>
Constructs a server ticket using a key from the local
F</usr/afs/etc/KeyFile> file. The B<vos> command interpreter presents it
to the Volume Server and Volume Location Server during mutual
authentication. Do not combine this flag with the B<-cell> argument or
B<-noauth> flag. For more details, see L<vos(1)>.
=item B<-verbose>
Produces on the standard output stream a detailed trace of the command's
execution. If this argument is omitted, only warnings and error messages
appear.
=item B<-help>
Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options are
ignored.
=back
=head1 OUTPUT
If the output includes more than one VLDB entry, by default the first line
reports which file server machine, partition, or both, houses the
volumes. The final line of output reports the total number of entries
displayed. Including the B<-quiet> flag suppresses these lines.
By default, volumes are sorted alphabetically by volume name. Including
the B<-nosort> flag skips the sorting step, which can speed up the
production of output if there are a large number of entries.
The VLDB entry for each volume includes the following information:
=over 4
=item *
The base (read/write) volume name. The read-only and backup versions have
the same name with a C<.readonly> and C<.backup> extension, respectively.
=item *
The volume ID numbers allocated to the versions of the volume that
actually exist, in fields labeled C<RWrite> for the read/write, C<ROnly>
for the read-only, C<Backup> for the backup, and C<RClone> for the
ReleaseClone. (If a field does not appear, the corresponding version of
the volume does not exist.) The appearance of the C<RClone> field normally
indicates that a release operation did not complete successfully; the
C<Old release> and C<New release> flags often also appear on one or more
of the site definition lines described just following.
=item *
The number of sites that house a read/write or read-only copy of the
volume, following the string C<< number of sites -> >>.
=item *
A line for each site that houses a read/write or read-only copy of the
volume, specifying the file server machine, partition, and type of volume
(C<RW> for read/write or C<RO> for read-only). If a backup version exists,
it is understood to share the read/write site. Several flags can appear
with a site definition:
=over 4
=item Not released
Indicates that the vos release command has not been issued since the B<vos
addsite> command was used to define the read-only site.
=item Old release
Indicates that a vos release command did not complete successfully,
leaving the previous, obsolete version of the volume at this site.
=item New release
Indicates that a vos release command did not complete successfully, but
that this site did receive the correct new version of the volume.
=back
=item *
If the VLDB entry is locked, the string C<Volume is currently LOCKED>.
=back
For further discussion of the C<New release> and C<Old release> flags, see
L<vos_release(1)>.
=head1 EXAMPLES
The following command displays VLDB information for the ABC Corporation
volume called C<usr>, which has two read-only replication sites:
% vos listvldb -name usr
usr
RWrite: 5360870981 ROnly: 536870982 Backup: 536870983
number of sites -> 3
server fs1.abc.com partition /vicepa RO Site
server fs3.abc.com partition /vicepa RO Site
server fs2.abc.com partition /vicepb RW Site
The following example shows entries for two of the volumes that reside on
the file server machine C<fs4.abc.com>. The first VLDB entry is currently
locked. There are 508 entries that mention the machine as a volume site.
% vos listvldb -server fs4.abc.com
VLDB entries for server fs4.abc.com
