Gerald Combs 01b0d9e077 Docs: Move includes to the top of our man pages.
Move our attributes.adoc includes to the very top of each man page.
Older versions of Asciidoctor complain if it's not at the top. and
additionally generate <file>.man instead of <file>.<section> if we don't
explictly supply an output file.

Gerald Combs cfc3212ae2 Docs: Miscellaneous man page updates.
Add the program version to more commonly-used commands. We were labeling
output with "Output" and "Example output". Use "Example output"
everywhere. Other miscellaneous updates.

Gerald Combs 8705dfbe74 Docs: Update some man page markup and remove pod2adoc.py.
Remove pod2adoc.py since it's no longer needed. Add versions to the
Wireshark, TShark, and Dumpcap man pages. Use definition lists in the
TShark glossary descriptions. Other minor fixes.

Gerald Combs 84ab55cf75 Docs+Packaging: Convert our man pages to Asciidoctor.
Convert doc/*.pod to Asciidoctor. This:

* Means we use the same markup for our man pages, the guides, and
  release notes.
* Lets us add versions to our man pages.
* Gives us more formatting options, e.g. AsciiDoc supports `commands`,
  nested lists and makes it easy to include version information. The
  manpage backend doesn't seem to support tables very well,
  unfortunately.

Convert our CMake configuration to produce *roff and html man pages
using Asciidoctor. Add a "manarg" block macro which makes our synopses
wrap correctly.

Similar to the release notes, guides, and FAQ, if Asciidoctor isn't
found the man pages won't be generated or installed.

Move Asciidoctor to the list of package build dependencies in various
places.

This commit includes the conversion script (pod2adoc.py), which will be
removed later.
