Not sure what is the ultimate scope of this PR, the flang manpage is indeed being generated. There are some observations though, but I'm not sure if this is the PR which should address them. Namely:

- At the very beginning we can see this:

```
FLANG |VERSION| (IN-PROGRESS) RELEASE NOTES
          warning
```

- There are some mentions of the problems with building on Ubuntu 18. This is slightly old Linux distribution these days, I doubt many cares about those issues, and it doesn't feel like a manpage is a good place for running into details of them

- The man page is way too big, way too extensive and way too detailed. It feels like entire Flang documentation went into it. Was this intentional?

I like the fact that this page finally generates easily with no need for extensive CMake configuring.
