Setup automatic man page generation
Create man pages from the Sphinx documentation. Ideally the man pages are updated completely automatic when running make dist and make install but that is a quite complicated setup. For now a script that builds the man pages and commits them has been created. This is to be run as part of the release process so that man pages are aligned with the most recent version of the docs.
