man: Revise internal man page generation process.

For each section 8 man page, a .8_gen file is created from one of:
  .8_main            - Old-style man page - content used directly
  .8_des and .8_end  - Description and end section of a generated page
  .8_pregen	     - Pre-generated page used if the generator fails

Other man sections are not generated and use the suffix .5_main or .7_main.

Developers should use 'make generate' to regenerate the .8_pregen files.

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+lvextend extends the size of an LV. This requires allocating logical
+extents from the VG's free physical extents. If the extension adds a new
+LV segment, the new segment will use the existing segment type of the LV.
+
+Extending a copy\-on\-write snapshot LV adds space for COW blocks.
+
+Use \fBlvconvert\fP(8) to change the number of data images in a RAID or
+mirrored LV.
+
+In the usage section below, \fB--size\fP \fISize\fP can be replaced
+with \fB--extents\fP \fINumber\fP.  See both descriptions
+the options section.

+.ad l
+\fB--alloc\fP \fBcontiguous\fP|\fBcling\fP|\fBcling_by_tags\fP|\fBnormal\fP|\fBanywhere\fP|\fBinherit\fP
+.br
+Determines the allocation policy when a command needs to allocate
+Physical Extents (PEs) from the VG. Each VG and LV has an allocation policy
+which can be changed with vgchange/lvchange, or overriden on the
+command line.
+\fBnormal\fP applies common sense rules such as not placing parallel stripes
+on the same PV.
+\fBinherit\fP applies the VG policy to an LV.
+\fBcontiguous\fP requires new PEs be placed adjacent to existing PEs.
+\fBcling\fP places new PEs on the same PV as existing PEs in the same
+stripe of the LV.
+If there are sufficient PEs for an allocation, but normal does not
+use them, \fBanywhere\fP will use them even if it reduces performance,
+e.g. by placing two stripes on the same PV.
+Optional positional PV args on the command line can also be used to limit
+which PVs the command will use for allocation.
+See \fBlvm\fP(8) for more information about allocation.

+.ad l
+\fB--config\fP \fIString\fP

+\fB-l\fP|\fB--extents\fP [\fB+\fP]\fINumber\fP[PERCENT]
+.br
+Specifies the new size of the LV in logical extents.
+The --size and --extents options are alternate methods of specifying size.
+The total number of physical extents used will be
+greater when redundant data is needed for RAID levels.
+An alternate syntax allows the size to be determined indirectly
+as a percentage of the size of a related VG, LV, or set of PVs. The
+suffix \fB%VG\fP denotes the total size of the VG, the suffix \fB%FREE\fP
+the remaining free space in the VG, and the suffix \fB%PVS\fP the free
+space in the specified PVs.  For a snapshot, the size
+can be expressed as a percentage of the total size of the origin LV
+with the suffix \fB%ORIGIN\fP (\fB100%ORIGIN\fP provides space for
+the whole origin).
+When expressed as a percentage, the size defines an upper limit for the
+number of logical extents in the new LV. The precise number of logical
+extents in the new LV is not determined until the command has completed.
+When the plus \fB+\fP or minus \fB-\fP prefix is used,
+the value is not an absolute size, but is relative and added or subtracted
+from the current size.

+.ad b
+
+.HP
+.ad l
+\fB--nosync\fP
+.br
+Causes the creation of mirror, raid1, raid4, raid5 and raid10 to skip the
+initial synchronization. In case of mirror, raid1 and raid10, any data
+written afterwards will be mirrored, but the original contents will not be
+copied. In case of raid4 and raid5, no parity blocks will be written,
+though any data written afterwards will cause parity blocks to be stored.
+This is useful for skipping a potentially long and resource intensive initial
+sync of an empty mirror/raid1/raid4/raid5 and raid10 LV.
+This option is not valid for raid6, because raid6 relies on proper parity
+(P and Q Syndromes) being created during initial synchronization in order
+to reconstruct proper user date in case of device failures.
+raid0 and raid0_meta do not provide any data copies or parity support
+and thus do not support initial synchronization.
+.ad b

+\fB--noudevsync\fP
+.br
+Disables udev synchronisation. The process will not wait for notification

+\fBbasic\fP is the original format with columns and rows.
+If there is more than one report per command, each report is prefixed

+.ad b

+.ad l
+\fB-i\fP|\fB--stripes\fP \fINumber\fP
+.br
+Specifies the number of stripes in a striped LV. This is the number of
+PVs (devices) that a striped LV is spread across. Data that
+appears sequential in the LV is spread across multiple devices in units of
+the stripe size (see --stripesize). This does not change existing
+allocated space, but only applies to space being allocated by the command.
+When creating a RAID 4/5/6 LV, this number does not include the extra
+devices that are required for parity. The largest number depends on
+the RAID type (raid0: 64, raid10: 32, raid4/5: 63, raid6: 62), and
+when unspecified, the default depends on the RAID type
+(raid0: 2, raid10: 4, raid4/5: 3, raid6: 5.)

+The LV type, also known as "segment type" or "segtype".

+Several commands omit an explicit type option because the type

+\fILV\fP
+.br
+Logical Volume name.  See \fBlvm\fP(8) for valid names.
+An LV positional arg generally includes the VG name and LV name, e.g. VG/LV.
+LV followed by _<type> indicates that an LV of the
+given type is required. (raid represents raid<N> type)
+
+.HP
+\fIPV\fP
+.br
+Physical Volume name, a device path under /dev.
+For commands managing physical extents, a PV positional arg
+generally accepts a suffix indicating a range (or multiple ranges)
+of physical extents (PEs). When the first PE is omitted, it defaults
+to the start of the device, and when the last PE is omitted it defaults to end.
+Start and end range (inclusive): \fIPV\fP[\fB:\fP\fIPE\fP\fB-\fP\fIPE\fP]...

+\fIString\fP

+See the option description for information about the string content.

+.HP
+\fISize\fP[UNIT]
+.br
+Size is an input number that accepts an optional unit.
+Input units are always treated as base two values, regardless of
+capitalization, e.g. 'k' and 'K' both refer to 1024.
+The default input unit is specified by letter, followed by |UNIT.
+UNIT represents other possible input units: \fBbBsSkKmMgGtTpPeE\fP.
+b|B is bytes, s|S is sectors of 512 bytes, k|K is kilobytes,
+m|M is megabytes, g|G is gigabytes, t|T is terabytes,
+p|P is petabytes, e|E is exabytes.
+(This should not be confused with the output control --units, where
+capital letters mean multiple of 1000.)
+.SH ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
+.br
+See \fBlvm\fP(8) for information about environment variables used by lvm.
+For example, LVM_VG_NAME can generally be substituted for a required VG parameter.
+.SH EXAMPLES
+
+Extend the size of an LV by 54MiB, using a specific PV.
+.br
+.B lvextend \-L +54 vg01/lvol10 /dev/sdk3
+
+Extend the size of an LV by the amount of free
+space on PV /dev/sdk3. This is equivalent to specifying
+"\-l +100%PVS" on the command line.
+.br
+.B lvextend vg01/lvol01 /dev/sdk3
