Martin Kosek dc3d0f3879 Improve man pages structure
There are too many options in ipa-*-install scripts which makes it
difficult to read. This patch adds subsections to install script
online help and man pages to improve readability. No option has
been changed.

To further improve man pages:

1) All man pages were changed to have the same header and top-center
   title to provide united look.

2) Few typos in man pages have been fixed

.SH "NAME"
ipactl \- IPA Server Control Interface
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
ipactl \fIcommand\fR
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
A tool to help an administer control an IPA environment.
IPA glues several discrete services together to work in concert and the order that these services are started and stopped is important. ipactl ensures that they are started and stopped in the correct order.
IPA stores the available masters and the services configured on each one. The first thing ipactl does is start (if it is not already running) the IPA 389\-ds instance to query what services it controls. The hostname used in the query needs to match the hostname of the value stored in LDAP. This can be controlled with the host option in \fI/etc/ipa/default.conf\fR. This should be a fully\-qualified hostname.
.SH "OPTIONS"
.TP
start
Start all of the services that make up IPA
.TP
stop
Stop all of the services that make up IPA
.TP
restart
Stop then start all of the services that make up IPA
