The virtlockd/libvirtd daemons had listed '?' as the short option
for --help. getopt_long uses '?' for any unknown option. We want
to be able to distinguish unknown options (which use EXIT_FAILURE)
from correct usage of help (which should use EXIT_SUCCESS). Thus
we should use 'h' as a short option for --help. Also add this to
the man page docs
The virtlockd/libvirtd daemons did not list any short option
for the --version arg. Add -V as a valid short option, since
-v is already used for --verbose.

Updated the paths in the man page to reflect what the code in libvirtd
does. In addition broke out the FILES section into two subsections for
files used when run as root and files used when run as non-root.
Provided information about the defaults that libvirtd uses when running
as non-root and when XDG_CONFIG_HOME and XDG_RUNTIME_DIR are not set in
the environment.
REMOTE_PID_FILE is no longer used in the source or the build process but
the man page still used it resulting in no file name being displayed.
The same value that the libvirtd daemon code uses is now used in the man
page.
Currently the man page has paths that start with @sysconfdir@,
@localstatedir@ and @remote_pid_file@. The sed command attempts to
replace these during the build but unfortunately pod2man gets to the
files first and escapes the @ character resulting in the sed not
working. This removes the @ character and makes the paths correct.
The copyright dates in the manpages haven't been updated in awhile.
Also, when pod2man converts a pod file into a manpage, it will only
remove the extension from the filename if it is ".pod". Some of the
libvirt pod files are named *.pod.in, and that filename is placed
unchanged into the manpage. This patch uses pod2man's --name option to
fix that.
Believe it or not, there's even a BZ for this:

As defined in:

This offers a number of advantages:
* Allows sharing a home directory between different machines, or
sessions (eg. using NFS)
* Cleanly separates cache, runtime (eg. sockets), or app data from
user settings
* Supports performing smart or selective migration of settings
between different OS versions
* Supports reseting settings without breaking things
* Makes it possible to clear cache data to make room when the disk
is filling up
* Allows us to write a robust and efficient backup solution
* Allows an admin flexibility to change where data and settings are stored
* Dramatically reduces the complexity and incoherence of the
system for administrators
The virt-mem program is no longer shipped, but was still being
referenced at the bottom of the virsh and libvirtd man pages.
This patch removes it from those man pages, addressing
BZ# 639603:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=639603
This patch removes the individual author names from the libvirtd and virsh
man pages, instead referring to the main AUTHORS file distributed with
libvirt. This approach is needed, as we can't guarantee unicode support
across all versions of pod2man used with libvirt.
Additionally, this patch includes the libvirtd man page in the spec file
used with "make rpm". Without this patch "make rpm" is broken.
