doc: cross-reference notmuch man pages with actual links Add internal hyperlink targets for man pages and cross-reference them using the any role reference. There are a number of alternatives to accomplish this, but this seems like the combination that retains the man page section number and the same boldface style in the man pages. As a bonus, we get sanity checking on the links; for example notmuch-search-terms.rst had a reference to notmuch-properties(1) i.e. the wrong section. The obvious semantic follow-up change would be to only have meaningful "see also" references instead of having them all everywhere.

SYNOPSIS
========
**notmuch** **compact** [--quiet] [--backup=<*directory*>]
DESCRIPTION
===========
The **compact** command can be used to compact the notmuch database.
This can both reduce the space required by the database and improve
lookup performance.
The compacted database is built in a temporary directory and is later
moved into the place of the origin database. The original uncompacted
database is discarded, unless the ``--backup=``\ <directory> option is
used.
Note that the database write lock will be held during the compaction
process (which may be quite long) to protect data integrity.
Supported options for **compact** include
doc: unify definition list usage across man pages Make all parameter descriptions etc. use reStructuredText definition lists with uniform style and indentation. Remove redundant indentation from around the lists. Remove blank lines between term lines and definition blocks. Use four spaces for indentation. This is almost completely whitespace and paragraph reflow changes.

``--backup=``\ <directory>
Save the current database to the given directory before replacing
it with the compacted database. The backup directory must not
exist and it must reside on the same mounted filesystem as the
current database.
``--quiet``
Do not report database compaction progress to stdout.
