    Description

      The "puppet man" face application is being deprecated in favor of "puppet help", and direct usage of the shipped man pages.

      As such, we need to:

      • Add a deprecation message to "puppet man" and its documentation to alert users to this.
      • Remove references to "puppet man", "puppet man man", "man puppet-man", etc., and update them to point at "puppet help" or "man puppet-<thing>" if appropriate.
      • Add mentions of setting MANPATH (and what to set it to include) so that the shipped man pages can be accessed via the man command.
