MDEV-5485 Minor man pages formatting issues
MDEV-6281 Typo in mysql_install_db scripts and collateral changes: * remove mysql_tableinfo.1 and references to it (there's no mysql_tableinfo) * for debian: create manpages for mysqlrepair, mysqlanalyze, mysqloptimize (as symlinks for mysqlcheck.1, just as executables are symlinks to mysqlcheck) * remove mysqlmanager.8 and references to it * correct "very long line" error in mysqladmin.1 * simplify and fix table formatting in mysqlbinlog.1 and mysqldump.1 * fix a typo in the help text in mysql_install_db * aria_chk: say "for Linux on x86_64", like other tools do (not "for Linux at x86_64") * add simple manpages for aria_* utilities
