add link to manpages in HTML builder It is useful to have the HTML documentation builder actually link to real rendered versions of HTML manpages in its output. That way people can click on manpages to get the full documentation. There are a few services offering this online, so we do not explicitly enable one by default, but the Debian manpages repository has a lot of the manpages pre-rendered, so it is used as an example in the documentation. The parsing work is done by a transformer class that parses manpage objects and extract name/section elements. Those then can be used by writers to cross-reference to actual sites. An implementation is done in the two HTML writers, but could also apply to ePUB/PDF writers as well in the future. This is not enabled by default: the `manpages_url` configuration item needs to be enabled to point to the chosen site. The `page`, `section` and `path` parameters are expanded through Python string formatting in the URL on output. Unit tests are fairly limited, but should cover most common use-cases.
