man: run dbus api docs through the updater
This replaces the api export tables with updated versions, and inserts comments for all "undocumented" items. The slow work of documented them is left for later ;) lxml does some formatting changes that are not significant for lxml processing, but generate spurious difference in the diff (namely: ulinks become one-line, and double quotes are used instead of single quotes for element attribute values). This should be a one-time thing: subsequent renegeration should be idempotent with regards to this.
