What started as an attempt to fix BUG#2270 (Substitute paths in mysql

manpage) turned out as a major overhaul of all man pages:

 - renamed all *.1 files to *.1.in to act as templates which are being
   processed at build time
 - replaced some hard-coded values with place holder that are being
   replaced with the proper values at build time
 - Updated list of available man pages in the SEE ALSO section and added a
   hint to the manual for more details
 - Added a BUGS section to all pages, referring to the bugs DB
 - Updated some obsolete URLs and mail addresses

The actual content of these man pages should probably be cross-checked for
correctness, though...


man/Makefile.am:
   - Replace some hard-coded values in the man pages with the proper values
     at build time instead. Instead of the *.1 files, we now add the *.1.in
     files (the templates) to the source distribution and generate the *.1
     files during make.
