    perf_counter tools: Generate per command manpages (and pdf/html, etc.) · c1c2365a
    Ingo Molnar authored
    Import Git's nice .txt => {man/html/pdf} generation machinery.
    
    Fix various errors in the Documentation/perf*.txt description as well.
    
    Also fix a bug in builtin-help: we'd map 'perf help top' to 'perftop'
    if only the 'perf' binary is in the default PATH - confusing the manpage
    logic. I dont fully understand why Git did it this way - but i suppose
    it's a migration artifact from their migration from standalone git-xyz
    commands to 'git xyz' commands. The perf tools were always using the
    modern form so it's not an issue there.
