Add vrf keyword to 'ip link' and 'ip addr' commands (common list code).
Allows:
1. Adding a link to a VRF
$ ip link set NAME vrf NAME
Removing a link from a VRF still uses 'ip link set NAME nomaster'
2. Showing links associated with a VRF:
$ ip link show vrf NAME
3. List addresses associated with links in a VRF
$ ip -br addr show vrf red

Not sure why this was limited to ip-link before. It is semantically
equal to the 'master' keyword, which is not restricted at all.
The man page and help text adjustments include the 'master' keyword as
well since that is also supported but wasn't documented before.

Clarify that the optional '-' prefix of the 'tentative', 'deprecated'
and 'dadfailed' keywords has to be put right in front of them, no
whitespace is allowed in between.
In addition to that, clarify that it is valid to pass both 'valid_lft'
and 'preferred_lft' at the same time to 'ip address'.

When fixing the BNF syntax error, I overlooked that 'ip address help'
prints a more correct synopsis. This patch aligns them.

The previous man page fixup introduced a syntax error due to missing
opening bracket, which might crash some humanoid BNF parsers.

* Improve manual page synopsis and built-it help
* Use full subcommand names (e.g. 'address' and 'maddress')
* Specify when IPv4, IPv6 or both are affected
* Add lifetimes, home and nodad
* Remove any remaining excess spaces
Commit 43d29f7 substantially improves generated ip-address.8 instead of
ip-address.8.in and commit e419f2d removes the generated one losing the
improvements entirely. This commit recovers the lost changes, adapts
them to the current manual page and adds more man page and help
improvements.

Extend "ip-address" man page to reflect the recent extension of
allowing to list addresses with flags tentative, deprecated, dadfailed
not being set.

Both ip-link and ip-address support the 'up' argument, however this
isn't documented in neither their help outputs or ip-address' manpage.
This patch fixes that.

Generate manual pages based on where the config files are installed.
Add missing manual pages for utilities which are links to other binaries.
Make tc-pfifo.8 a real file that points to tc-bfifo.8 instead of symlink
which causes problems with compressing manual pages.
