Ben Pfaff d2cb6c956b manpages: Put version number instead of date at bottom of page.
We're really good about keeping manpages up to date, but terrible at
updating the dates at the bottom of the manpages.  So, instead of using
manually updated dates, this commit switches to using automatically updated
version numbers.

We can only use automatically updated version numbers for manpages that
we preprocess, that is, the manpages whose sources end with ".in".  This
excludes a couple of manpages that don't actually get installed with OVS,
such as the manpages for ovs-ctl and ovsdb-idlc.  This commit doesn't
change those manpages.  It does change the ovs-bugtool manpage to one that
is preprocessed so that we can use the version there.

.TH ovs\-tcpundump 1 "@VERSION@" "Open vSwitch" "Open vSwitch Manual"
.
.SH NAME
ovs\-tcpundump \- convert ``tcpdump \-xx'' output to hex strings
.
.SH SYNOPSIS
\fBovs\-tcpundump < \fIfile\fR
.so lib/common-syn.man
.
.SH DESCRIPTION
The \fBovs\-tcpundump\fR program reads \fBtcpdump \-xx\fR output on
stdin, looking for hexadecimal packet data, and dumps each Ethernet as
a single hexadecimal string on stdout. This format is suitable for
use with the \fBofproto/trace\fR command supported by
\fBovs\-vswitchd\fR(8)
via \fBovs\-appctl\fR(8).
.PP
At least two \fB\-x\fR or \fB\-X\fR options must be given, otherwise
the output will omit the Ethernet header, which prevents the output
from being using with \fBofproto/trace\fR.
