When running from initrd, entering a wrong passphrase usually means that
you cannot boot. Therefore, we allow trying indefinitely.

systemd-cryptsetup recognizes option 'allow-discards' in /etc/crypttab
to enable TRIM passthrough to underlying encrypted device. In Debian
this option was changed to 'discard' to avoid hyphen in option name.
(see: #648868 and `man crypttab`).
[zj: update crypttab(5) too, making "discard" the default.]

This includes regularly-submitted corrections to comma setting and
orthographical mishaps that appeared in man/ in recent commits.

Tcrypt uses a different approach to passphrases/key files. The
passphrase and all key files are incorporated into the "password"
to open the volume. So, the idea of slots that provide a way to
open the volume with different passphrases/key files that are
independent from each other like with LUKS does not apply.
Therefore, we use the key file from /etc/crypttab as the source
for the passphrase. The actual key files that are combined with
the passphrase into a password are provided as a new option in
/etc/crypttab and can be given multiple times if more than one
key file is used by a volume.

- place commas
- expand contractions (this is written prose :)
- add some missing words

When manpages are displayed on a terminal, <literal>s are indistinguishable
from surrounding text. Add quotes everywhere, remove duplicate quotes,
and tweak a few lists for consistent formatting.

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.

Mukund Sivaraman pointed out that cryptsetup(5) mentions the "read-only"
option, while the code understands "readonly".
We could just fix the manpage, but for consistency in naming of
multi-word options it would be prettier to have "read-only". So let's
accept both spellings.

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.

The fact that timeout=0 makes password agents wait indefinitely is documented
in http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/PasswordAgents. Document
it also in the relevant man pages.

This is useful e.g. if the keyfile is a raw device, where only parts of it
should be read. It is typically used whenever the keyfile-offset= option is
specified.

This is useful if your keyfile is a block device, and you want to
use a specific part of it, such as an area between the MBR and the
first partition.
This feature is documented in the Arch wiki[0], and has been supported
by the Arch initscripts, so would be nice to get this into systemd.
This requires libcryptsetup >= 1.4.2 (released 12.4.2012).
