42c202893b879d1bda54624d44c90b28143fc167 doc: Fix gen-manpages, rewrite in Python (laanwj)

Pull request description:

  Rewrite the manual page generation script in Python.

  This:
  - solves '-' stripping issue (fixes #22681)
  - makes that a copyright footer is generated correctly again

  Also change the release process to swap gen-manpages and update RC steps, so that the pages will have the correct rc and/or final version.

ACKs for top commit:

    Code Review ACK 87f54060ffffdb56c97594efdca378bace5323df
  fanquake:
    ACK 87f54060ffffdb56c97594efdca378bace5323df - tested generating and opening the man pages locally, but didn't run through the release process. Will propose some changes to address consolidating the help / version output.
