Refactor common man page options, phase 2
Followup to #15174. These are the options that are easy(ish) to review: those that have only drifted slightly, and need only minor tweaks to bring back to sanity. For the most part, I went with the text in podman-run because that was cleaned up in #5192 way back in 2020. These diffs primarily consist of using '**' (star star) instead of backticks, plus other formatting and punctuation changes. This PR also adds a README in the options dir, and a new convention: <<container text...|pod text...>> which tries to do the right thing based on whether the man page name includes "-pod-" or not. Since that's kind of hairy code, I've also added a test suite for it. Finally, since this is impossible to review by normal means, I'm temporarily committing hack/markdown-preprocess-review, a script that will diff option-by-option. I will remove it once we finish this cleanup, but be advised that there are still 130+ options left to examine, and some of those are going to be really hard to reunite. Review script usage: simply run it (you need to have 'diffuse' installed). It isn't exactly obvious, but it shouldn't take more than a minute to figure out. The rightmost column (zzz-chosen.md) is the "winner", the actual content that will be used henceforth. You really want an ultrawide screen here. Signed-off-by: Ed Santiago <santiago@redhat.com>

+#### **--secret**=*secret[,opt=opt ...]*
+
+Give the container access to a secret. Can be specified multiple times.
+
+A secret is a blob of sensitive data which a container needs at runtime but
+should not be stored in the image or in source control, such as usernames and passwords,
+TLS certificates and keys, SSH keys or other important generic strings or binary content (up to 500 kb in size).
+
+When secrets are specified as type `mount`, the secrets are copied and mounted into the container when a container is created.
+When secrets are specified as type `env`, the secret will be set as an environment variable within the container.
+Secrets are written in the container at the time of container creation, and modifying the secret using `podman secret` commands
+after the container is created will not affect the secret inside the container.
+
+Secrets and its storage are managed using the `podman secret` command.
+
+Secret Options
+
+- `type=mount|env` : How the secret will be exposed to the container. Default mount.
+- `target=target` : Target of secret. Defaults to secret name.
+- `uid=0` : UID of secret. Defaults to 0. Mount secret type only.
+- `gid=0` : GID of secret. Defaults to 0. Mount secret type only.
+- `mode=0` : Mode of secret. Defaults to 0444. Mount secret type only.
