Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek fdbbee37d5 man: drop unused <authorgroup> tags from man sources
Docbook styles required those to be present, even though the templates that we
use did not show those names anywhere. But something changed semi-recently (I
would suspect docbook templates, but there was only a minor version bump in
recent years, and the changelog does not suggest anything related), and builds
now work without those entries. Let's drop this dead weight.

Tested with F26-F29, debian unstable.

<title>Description</title>
<para><filename>systemd-getty-generator</filename> is a generator
that automatically instantiates
<filename>serial-getty@.service</filename> on the kernel
console(s), if they can function as ttys and are not provided by
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. If execution in a container environment is detected, it
will instead enable <filename>console-getty.service</filename> for
<filename>/dev/console</filename>, and
<filename>container-getty@.service</filename> instances for
additional container pseudo TTYs as requested by the container
manager (see <ulink
url="https://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/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.txt"><filename>kernel-parameters.txt</filename></ulink>
for more information on the <varname>console=</varname> kernel
parameter.</para>
