rst2man is only good for use in projects that don't use sphinx
already, as there it can help to avoid bringing in the full sphinx
dependencies and be easier to manage (as long as it stay small).
But we already use sphinx, so there's no point in managing the manual
pages in a separate, semi-related way that is quite restricted as we
have no access to sphinx infrastructure like conf.py defined
variables and helpers for things like the current version.
Besides that, we're rather big, so the complexity of sphinx can
shine, e.g., see the diffstat report from switching out rst2man for
sphinx:
22 files changed, 74 insertions(+), 347 deletions(-)
so 273 lines less in total is rather nice.

For now it only supports 'list' and 'extract' commands for 'pxar.didx'

This is packaged as a seperate .deb file, since for block level restore
it will need to depend on pve-qemu-kvm, which we want to seperate from
proxmox-backup-client.

If the ref is named the same as the headline (once normalized), sphinx
will return a 'idX' value in node['ids'][1] which we use for the label
ID. The headline is always present at index 0.
Checking for that and using index 0 in case we do get a 'idX' helps us
to avoid using the 'idX' as keys in our OnlineHelpInfo.js and actually

* a backup on Sun, 29 Nov 2020 kept by keep-weekly
would lead to the backup on Mon, 30 Nov 2020 to be selected for keep-monthly,
because the iteration did not yet reach the backup on Sun, 29 Nov 2020 that
