Emil Velikov e7626810fd man: list options one per line
Somewhat inspired by my selfish use of VIM as man pager. Namely, when
there are multiple options on the same line, only the first one gets
properly rendered.

A good bonus point is that very long instances, like modinfo's legacy
"--author, --description ..." look a bit neater now.

With this is also more consistently handle short/long options which take
an argument.

RMMOD(8) "kmod" "rmmod"
# NAME
rmmod - Simple program to remove a module from the Linux Kernel
# SYNOPSIS
*rmmod* [*-f*] [*-s*] [*-v*] [_modulename_]
# DESCRIPTION
*rmmod* is a trivial program to remove a module (when module unloading support
is provided) from the kernel. Most users will want to use *modprobe*(8) with the
*-r* option instead since it removes unused dependent modules as well.
# OPTIONS
*-v*
*--verbose*
Print messages about what the program is doing. Usually *rmmod* prints
messages only if something goes wrong.
*-f*
*--force*
This option can be extremely dangerous: it has no effect unless
CONFIG_MODULE_FORCE_UNLOAD was set when the kernel was compiled. With
this option, you can remove modules which are being used, or which are
not designed to be removed, or have been marked as unsafe (see *lsmod*(8)).
*-s*
*--syslog*
Send errors to syslog instead of standard error.
*-V*
*--version*
Show version of program and exit.
