Michael Meffie c66971ce42 man-pages: Generate man pages with Pod::Man
The generate-man script is currently a shell script which invokes the
pod2man command for each pod file to be converted into a man page. This
makes the pod conversion slow, since we load Perl and create a Pod::Man
parser for each pod file.  In addition to being slow, generate-man
leaves behind a partially created man page when an error is
encountered during the pod2man execution.

To fix these issues, rewrite generate-man as a Perl script which uses
the Pod::Man module directly.  The Pod::Man parser is created only once
and is reused to generate each man page.  The Pod::Man module supports
this type of batch mode operation by clearing its internal state after
each man page is created.

We have some special processing to determine the man page names for the
pages in section 3, so create a sub class to handle the pod filename to
man page title determination, and add a helper function to support
processing more than one section with a single parser instance.

Be sure to cleanup any partially created man pages if an error is
encountered during the pod to man conversion.  This will let us use this
script in the Makefiles in the future.

AFS is a distributed file system that enables users to share and
access all of the files stored in a network of computers as easily as
they access the files stored on their local machines. The file system is
called distributed for this exact reason: files can reside on many
different machines, but are available to users on every machine.
