[PATCH] Provide basic manpage for plymouth

Hi,

As I have promised in a previous mail, I have written a manpage for
plymouth to explain the basics of it and the usage of its primary
configuration script, plymouth-set-default-plugin. I have used the
basic template for manpages which is created by the Debian debhelper
script "dh_make". Since the template manpage also contained short
options, I have patched plymouth-set-default-theme to allow short
options as well. It's just more consistent with other usual GNU
command line utilities. I have also added a man/Makefile.am, edited
configure.ac and Makefile.am in the plymouth source root folder, so
that the manpage is automatically installed with "make install". It
gets installed into section 8, like all other system-related utilities
like grub-install and so on.

Looking forward to further comments or suggestions.

Thanks,

Adrian
