Kir Kolyshkin dfc0f0695a man/*: revamp
Current runc man pages are ugly (no proper man page formatting)
and very short (mostly just a copy-paste from the "runc <command>
--help" output. They are also somewhat obsoleted as not all CLI updates
were propagated to man/*.

This commits makes the first step to solving this.

In short:
 - added some more information about some options;
 - lots of formatting fixes;
 - use references to other man pages and web pages;
 - fix SYNOPSYS (formatting, mostly);
 - removed the repeated description of <container_id> from every page;
 - added SEE ALSO;
 - something else I forgot.

# NAME
**runc-create** - create a container
# SYNOPSIS
**runc create** [_option_ ...] _container-id_
# DESCRIPTION
The **create** command creates an instance of a container from a bundle.
The bundle is a directory with a specification file named _config.json_,
and a root filesystem.
# OPTIONS
**--bundle**|**-b** _path_
: Path to the root of the bundle directory. Default is current directory.
**--console-socket** _path_
: Path to an **AF_UNIX** socket which will receive a file descriptor
referencing the master end of the console's pseudoterminal. See
[docs/terminals](https://github.com/opencontainers/runc/blob/master/docs/terminals.md).
**--pid-file** _path_
: Specify the file to write the initial container process' PID to.
**--no-pivot**
: Do not use pivot root to jail process inside rootfs. This should not be used
except in exceptional circumstances, and may be unsafe from the security
standpoint.
**--no-new-keyring**
: Do not create a new session keyring for the container. This will cause the
container to inherit the calling processes session key.
**--preserve-fds** _N_
: Pass _N_ additional file descriptors to the container (**stdio** +
**$LISTEN_FDS** + _N_ in total). Default is **0**.
