Chris Johnsen 9d8d13a8c5 Documentation: move quieting params into manpage-base.xsl
Move a couple of XSL parameters that act to silence
informational/warning messages generated when running xmlto from
manpage-1.72.xsl to manpage-base.xsl.

Since unused parameters are silently ignored, there is no problem
if some version of docbook-xsl does not know about these
parameters. The only problem might be if a version of docbook-xsl
uses the parameters for alternate functionality. Since both
parameters have fairly specific names such a situation is
unlikely.

Testing done with asciidoc 8.3.1 and docbook-xsl 1.74.0.

I was able to solve this problem with this patch, which adds a XSL file
used specifically for DOCBOOK_XSL_172=YesPlease and where dots and
backslashes are escaped properly so they won't be substituted to the
wrong thing further down the "DocBook XSL pipeline". Doing the escaping
in the existing callout.xsl breaks v1.70.1. Hopefully v1.73 will end
this part of the manpage nightmare.
