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.

+pvremove wipes the label on a device so that LVM will no longer recognise
+it as a PV.
+
+A PV cannot be removed from a VG while it is used by an active LV.
+
+Repeat the force option (\fB-ff\fP) to forcibly remove a PV belonging to
+an existing VG. Normally, \fBvgreduce\fP(8) should be used instead.
