Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek 5aded36978 man: add a mapping for external manpages
It is annoying when we have dead links on fd.o.

Add project='man-pages|die-net|archlinux' to <citerefentry>-ies.

In generated html, add external links to
http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man, http://linux.die.net/man/,
https://www.archlinux.org/.

By default, pages in sections 2 and 4 go to man7, since Michael
Kerrisk is the autorative source on kernel related stuff.

The rest of links goes to linux.die.net, because they have the
manpages.

Except for the pacman stuff, since it seems to be only available from
archlinux.org.

Poor gummiboot gets no link, because gummitboot(8) ain't to be found
on the net. According to common wisdom, that would mean that it does
not exist. But I have seen Kay using it, so I know it does, and
deserves to be found. Can somebody be nice and put it up somewhere?

<title>Description</title>
<para><filename>systemd-getty-generator</filename> is
a generator that automatically instantiates
<filename>serial-getty@.service</filename> on the
kernel console <filename>/dev/console</filename> if
that is not directed to the virtual console
subsystem. It will also instantiate
<filename>serial-getty@.service</filename> instances
for virtualizer consoles, if execution in a
virtualized environment is detected. Finally, it will
instantiate
<filename>container-getty@.service</filename>
instances for additional container pseudo TTYs as
requested by the container manager (see <ulink
url="http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/ContainerInterface/"><filename>Container Interface</filename></ulink>). This
should ensure that the user is shown a login prompt at
the right place, regardless of which environment the
system is started in. For example, it is sufficient to
redirect the kernel console with a kernel command line
argument such as <varname>console=</varname> to get
both kernel messages and a getty prompt on a serial
TTY. See <ulink
url="https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt"><filename>kernel-parameters.txt</filename></ulink>
for more information on the
<varname>console=</varname> kernel parameter.</para>
