perf_counter tools: Generate per command manpages (and pdf/html, etc.)
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.
