Bootchart has a help option. For the sake of consistency, this patch
adds it to the man page.
Also, the TODO is updated. Bootcharts were added to the journal in
commit c4d58b0.
In systemd-bootchart, the disk model information will not be found
unless the root device is specified using `root=/dev/sdxY` on the kernel
line. Just add a note as to why this doesn't happen.
Turning off filtering with --filter is just too confusing.
Config option "Filter" doesn't have to be changed, here
"Filter=yes" already meant to filter.
Essentially transfer the 'README' file in src/bootchart to the man page
for easier reading by users.
Moved the 'History' section to the bottom, before the 'See Also' section.

man rules were repeating the same information in too many places,
which was error prone. Those rules can be easily generated from .xml
files. For efficiency and because python is not a required dependency,
Makefile-man.am is only regenerated when requested with
make update-man-list
If no metadata in man/*.xml changed, this file should not change. So
only when a new man page or a new alias is added, this file should
show up in 'git diff'. The change should then be committed.
If the support for building from git without python was dropped, we
could drop Makefile-man.am from version control. This would also
increase the partial build time (since more stuff would be rebuild
whenever sources in man/*.xml would be modified), so it would probably
wouldn't be worth it.
New sections are added: PAM options, crypttab options, commandline
options, miscellaneous. The last category will be used for all
untagged <varname> elements.
Commandline options sections is meant to be a developer tool: when
adding an option it is sometimes useful to be able to check if
similarly named options exist elsewhere.
Bootchart is renamed to 'systemd-bootchart' and installed as
/usr/lib/systemd/systemd-bootchart. The configuration file
will reside in /etc/systemd/bootchart.conf.
