[docs] Add general sos manpage, rename sosreport.1, add symlinks
Adds a general manpage for the sos command that then points to the
available components.
Renames sosreport.1 to sos-report.1 to match the component style, and
then symlinks sosreport.1 to it.
Adds a symlink from sos-collector.1 to sos-collect.1.

Each provides a different set +of information for the user. Supported components are as follows + +.TP +.B report +Report generates an archive of system information including configuration files +and command output. Information included in the report is based upon plugins that +are activated automatically when certain criteria, such as installed packages, files, +services, or system architecture is detected. + +See \fBsos report --help\fR and \fBman sos-report\fR for more information. + +May also be invoked via the alias \fBrep\fR or the deprecated command \fBsosreport\fR. + +.TP +.B collect +Collect is used to capture reports on multiple systems simultaneously. These +systems can either be defined by the user at the command line and/or defined by +clustering software that exists either on the local system or on a "master" system +that is able to inform about other nodes in the cluster. + +When running collect, sos report will be run on the remote nodes, and then the +resulting archives will be copied from those nodes to the local system running +sos collect. Archives are then removed from the remote systems. + +See \fBsos collect --help\fR and \fBman sos-collect\fR for more information. + +May also be invoked via the alias \fBsos collector\fR or the deprecated command +\fBsos-collector\fR. + +.SH GLOBAL OPTIONS +sos components provide their own set of options, however the following are available +to be set across all components. + +.B \--config-file CONFIG +Specify alternate configuration file. +.TP +.B \-s, \--sysroot SYSROOT +Specify an alternate root file system path. +.TP +.B \--tmp-dir DIRECTORY +Specify alternate temporary directory to copy data during execution. +.TP +.B \--threads THREADS +Specify the number of threads sosreport will use for concurrency.
