45ef9011c2 update-manpages: force use of active interp
Since the repo wrapper uses #!/usr/bin/python, use the python3 that
this wrapper is actively using.

0468feac39 update-manpages: avoid regen just for datestamp update
To avoid noise due to the passage of time, don't regenerate man pages
if the only thing different is the datestamp in the header.

df8b1cba47 man: make output system independent
The current help output might change based on the number of CPU cores
available (since it reflects the dynamic --jobs logic).  This is good
for users running repo locally, but not good for shipping static man
pages.  Hook the help output to have it generate the same output all
the time.

56345c345b repo: refactor help output handling
Currently we have the behavior:
* `repo`: Equivalent to `repo help` -- only shows common subcommands
  (with short description), and then exits 0.
* `repo --help`: Shows repo's core options, lists all commands (no
  specific info), and then exits 0.

The first case is not behaving well:
* If you run `repo` without a specific subcommand, that's an error,
  so we should be exiting 1 instead.
* Showing only subcommands and no actual option summary makes it seem
  like repo itself doesn't take any options.  This confuses users.

Let's rework things a bit.  Now we have the behavior:
* `repo`: Shows repo's core options, lists all commands (no specific
  info), and then exits 1.
* `repo --help`: Shows repo's core options, shows common subcommands
  (with short description), and then exits 0.
* `repo --help-all`: Shows repo's core options, shows all subcommands
  (with short description), and then exits 0.

Basically we swap the behavior of `repo` and `repo --help`, and fix
the exit status when the subcommand is missing.

The addition of --help-all is mostly for the man pages.  We were
relying on `repo help --all` to generate the repo(1) man page, but
that too omitted the core repo options.  Now the man page includes
all the core repo options and provides a summary of all commands.

0a1f533e28 Add script 'release/update-manpages' to generate manpages
Debian package started to ship manpages for repo since 2.8 [1]
And it's about for one year. So I think it should be upstreamed.

The script depends on help2man, which is available in both debian [2]
and ubuntu [3].
