From: =?UTF-8?q?Jean-No=C3=ABl=20Avila?= <jn.avila@free.fr>

With the modern formatting of the manpages, the options and commands are now backticked in their definition lists. This patch updates the generation of the completion list to take into account this new format.

The script `generate-configlist.sh` is updated to get rid of extraneous commands and fit everything in a single sed script.
