split out common options to its own page and mention it on each subcommand page
Sometimes users would get confused because an option they were looking
for was not mentioned on a subcommand's man page, and they had not
noticed that the main git-annex man page had a list of common options.
This change lets each subcommand mention the common options, similarly
to how the matching options are handled.

`git annex fsck` currently spams the terminal with all keys in a repo and prints `git-annex: fsck: n failed` at the end if errors occur. Finding these errors in a sea of `ok`s is not trivial however.
A simple solution to this could be an fsck option which skips printing ok'd (and perhaps also dead) keys, i.e. `--no-ok` and `--no-dead`.
