Improve documentation by preserving paragraphs in the
nm-settings-nmcli man pages.
To do that structure of src/libnm-client-impl/nm-settings-docs-gir.xml
was changed to have "description" as subnode to property node instead
of attribute of property node. Another subnode "description-docbook"
was added - this node is then used when generating man pages.
tools/generate-docs-nm-settings-docs-gir.py and man/nm-settings-dbus.xsl
were also changed to accomodate for changes mentioned above.
Replace xsltproc tool with python script when generating
./src/libnmc-setting/settings-docs.h.
Deleted settings-docs.xsl since it was replaced by python script.
Change src/libnmc-setting/settings-docs.h.in accodring to newly
generated src/libnmc-setting/settings-docs.h

A significant part of NetworkManager's API are the connection profiles, documented
in `man nm-settings*`. But there are different aspects about profiles, depending
on what you are interested. There is the D-Bus API, nmcli options, keyfile format,
and ifcfg-rh format. Additionally, there is also libnm API.
Add distinct manual pages for the four aspects. Currently the two new manual
pages "nm-settings-dbus" and "nm-settings-nmcli" are still identical to the
former "nm-settings.5" manual. In the future, they will diverge to
account for the differences.
There are the following aspects:
- "dbus"
- "keyfile"
- "ifcfg-rh"
- "nmcli"
For "libnm" we don't generate a separate "nm-settings-libnm" manual
page. That is instead documented via gtk-doc.
Currently the keyfile and ifcfg-rh manual pages only detail settings
which differ. But later I think also these manual pages should contain
all settings that apply.
