Petr Špaček e46322c583 Split out ddns-confgen and tsig-keygen man pages
Both utilities were included as one man page, but this caused a problem:
Sphinx directive .. include was used twice on the same file, which
prevented us from using labels (or anything with unique identifier) in
the man pages. This effectivelly prevented linking to them.

Splitting man pages allows us to solve the linking problems and also
clearly make text easier to follow because it does not mention two tools
at the same time.

This change causes duplication of text, but given the frequecy of changes
to these tools I think it is acceptable.

tsig-keygen - TSIG key generation tool
--------------------------------------
Synopsis
~~~~~~~~
:program:`tsig-keygen` [**-a** algorithm] [**-h**] [name]
Description
~~~~~~~~~~~
``tsig-keygen`` is an utility that generates keys for use in TSIG signing.
The resulting keys can be used, for example, to secure dynamic DNS updates
to a zone, or for the ``rndc`` command channel.
A domain name can be specified on the command line to be used as the name
of the generated key. If no name is specified, the default is ``tsig-key``.
Options
~~~~~~~
``-a algorithm``
This option specifies the algorithm to use for the TSIG key. Available
choices are: hmac-md5, hmac-sha1, hmac-sha224, hmac-sha256, hmac-sha384,
and hmac-sha512. The default is hmac-sha256. Options are
case-insensitive, and the "hmac-" prefix may be omitted.
``-h``
This option prints a short summary of options and arguments.
