cmdline/docs: add a required 'multi' keyword for each option
The keyword specifies how option works when specified multiple times:

 - single: the last provided value replaces the earlier ones
 - append: it supports being provided multiple times
 - boolean: on/off values
 - mutex: flag-like option that disable anoter flag

The 'gen.pl' script then outputs the proper and unified language for
each option's multi-use behavior in the generated man page.

The multi: header is requires in each .d file and will cause build error
if missing or set to an unknown value.

Closes #9759

Similar to --form except that the value string for the named parameter is used
literally. Leading '@' and '<' characters, and the ';type=' string in
the value have no special meaning. Use this in preference to --form if
there's any possibility that the string value may accidentally trigger the
'@' or '<' features of --form.
