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-exec - execute new process inside the container

SYNOPSIS

runc exec [option ...] container-id [--] command [arg ...]

runc exec [option ...] -p process.json container-id

OPTIONS

--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.
--cwd path
Change to path in the container before executing the command.
--env|-e name=value
Set an environment variable name to value. Can be specified multiple times.

--user|-u uid[:gid]
Run the command as a user (and, optionally, group) specified by uid (and gid).
--additional-gids|-g gid
Add additional group IDs. Can be specified multiple times.
--process|-p process.json
Instead of specifying all the exec parameters directly on the command line, get them from a process.json, a JSON file containing the process specification as defined by the OCI runtime spec.
--detach|-d
Detach from the container's process.
--pid-file path
Specify the file to write the container process' PID to.
--process-label label
Set the asm process label for the process commonly used with selinux(7).
--apparmor profile
Set the apparmor(7) profile for the process.
--no-new-privs
Set the "no new privileges" value for the process.
--cap cap
Add a capability to the bounding set for the process. Can be specified multiple times.
--preserve-fds N
Pass N additional file descriptors to the container (stdio + $LISTEN_FDS + N in total). Default is 0.

EXAMPLES

If the container can run ps(1) command, the following will output a list of processes running in the container:

# runc exec <container-id> ps
