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 NAME
vos lock - Locks a VLDB volume entry
=head1 SYNOPSIS
=for html
<div class="synopsis">
B<vos lock> S<<< B<-id> <I<volume name or ID>> >>> S<<< [B<-cell> <I<cell name>>] >>>
[B<-noauth>] [B<-localauth>] [B<-verbose>] [B<-help>]
B<vos lo> S<<< B<-i> <I<volume name or ID>> >>> S<<< [B<-c> <I<cell name>>] >>> [B<-n>]
[B<-l>] [B<-v>] [B<-h>]
=for html
</div>
=head1 DESCRIPTION
The B<vos lock> command locks the Volume Location Database (VLDB) entry
for the indicated volume, blocking any operation that requires a write to
that entry. The lock applies to all of the volume versions associated with
the entry, not just the one specified with the B<-id> argument.
To unlock a single VLDB entry, use the B<vos unlock> command. To unlock
several entries, or all locked entries in the VLDB, use the B<vos
unlockvldb> command.
=head1 CAUTIONS
Do not use this command in normal circumstances. It is useful for
guaranteeing that the volume stays unchanged when there is reason to
believe that volume operations cannot properly lock VLDB volume entries as
they normally do to synchronize with one another.
=head1 OPTIONS
=over 4
=item B<-id> <I<volume name or ID>>
Specifies either the complete name or volume ID number of a volume of the
any of the three types.
=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 EXAMPLES
The following command locks the VLDB entry for C<user.terry>.
% vos lock user.terry
=head1 PRIVILEGE REQUIRED
The issuer must be listed in the F</usr/afs/etc/UserList> file on the
machine specified with the B<-server> argument and on each database server
machine. If the B<-localauth> flag is included, the issuer must instead be
logged on to a server machine as the local superuser C<root>.
