Ed Santiago beb71323b1 man pages - consistency fixes
podman-generate and -play had the wrong NAMEs.

podman-restart and -volume-prune the wrong SYNOPSIS.

All the rest are varying degrees of minor:

  - missing a space between the NAME and description
  - multi-line SYNOPSIS that could be collapsed into one
  - use of UPPER CASE in synopsis instead of *asterisks*
  - improper use of **double asterisks** for options
  - varlink and version were transposed in podman-1
  - fixed inconsistencies between the description in
    the man page and that in the parent manpage. These
    are too numerous for me to fix all.

Added: script that could be used in CI to prevent future
such inconsistencies. It cannot be enabled yet because
there are still 35+ inconsistencies in need of cleaning.

This will be difficult to review on github. I suggest
pulling the PR and running 'git log -1 -p | cdif | less'

'cdif' is a handy tool for colorizing individual diffs between
lines:

There are other such tools; use your favorite. Comparing
without visual highlights may be painful.

I also encourage you to run hack/man-page-checker and suggest
more fixes for the problems it's finding.

NAME

podman-history - Show the history of an image

SYNOPSIS

podman history [options] image[:tag|@digest]

DESCRIPTION

podman history displays the history of an image by printing out information about each layer used in the image. The information printed out for each layer include Created (time and date), Created By, Size, and Comment. The output can be truncated or not using the --no-trunc flag. If the --human flag is set, the time of creation and size are printed out in a human readable format. The --quiet flag displays the ID of the image only when set and the --format flag is used to print the information using the Go template provided by the user.

Valid placeholders for the Go template are listed below:

Placeholder Description
.ID Image ID
.Created if --human, time elapsed since creation, otherwise time stamp of creation
.CreatedBy Command used to create the layer
.Size Size of layer on disk
.Comment Comment for the layer

OPTIONS

--human, -H

Display sizes and dates in human readable format

--no-trunc

Do not truncate the output

--quiet, -q

Print the numeric IDs only

--format

Alter the output for a format like 'json' or a Go template.

--help, -h
