Create qvm-* (domU) man pages

[andrewdavidwong]

In a fedora-23-based AppVM:

[user@untrusted ~]$ apropos qvm-*
qvm-*: nothing appropriate.
[user@untrusted ~]$ man qvm-copy-to-vm
No manual entry for qvm-copy-to-vm
[user@untrusted ~]$ man qvm-open-in-dvm
No manual entry for qvm-open-in-dvm
[user@untrusted ~]$ man qvm-open-in-vm
No manual entry for qvm-open-in-vm
[user@untrusted ~]$ man qvm-run
No manual entry for qvm-run
[user@untrusted ~]$ qvm-copy-to-vm --help
usage: /usr/bin/qvm-copy-to-vm [--without-progress] dest_vmname file [file]+
[user@untrusted ~]$ qvm-open-in-dvm --help
Request refused
[user@untrusted ~]$ qvm-open-in-vm --help
Usage: /usr/bin/qvm-open-in-vm vmname filename
[user@untrusted ~]$ qvm-run --help
Usage: /usr/bin/qvm-run vmname command arguments
Executes a command in another VM using the qubes.VMShell RPC service.  The
arguments are joined with spaces and passed to "bash -c".

Standard input and output are connected to the command.  Unlike qvm-run in Dom0,
this tool does not propagate standard error or exit codes, nor does it offer
protection against the remote VM messing with your terminal if standard output
is your terminal.

You can use $dispvm or --dispvm instead of vmname to start a new DisposableVM.
[user@untrusted ~]$ 

#385, #421, #479 appear to be only about dom0 qvm-* tools. Even if not, the possibility of doing this was mentioned in #421 (comment) but never actually followed up or tracked in another ticket. (#479 and #385 were just about documenting them on the wiki.)

There is qubes-core-vm-doc package, not installed by default. I guess the best solution would be to integrate it back to qubes-core-vm.

Any particular reason it's not installed by default?

I don't think so. I'm trying to recall why it is in separate package in the first place...

It should be installed by default.
