Lint for and fix the three manual pages that were missing the standard "Part of the linkgit:git[1] suite" end section.

We only do this for the man[157] section documents (we don't have anything outside those sections), not files to be included, howto *.txt files etc.

We could also add this to the existing (and then renamed) lint-gitlink.perl, but I'm not doing that here.

Obviously all of that fits in one script, but I think for something like this that's a one-off script with global variables it's much harder to follow when a large part of your script is some if/else or keeping/resetting of state simply to work around the script doing two things instead of one.

Especially because in this case this script wants to process the file as one big string, but lint-gitlink.perl wants to look at it one line at a time. We could also consolidate this whole thing and t/check-non-portable-shell.pl, but that one likes to join lines as part of its shell parsing.

So let's just add another script, whole scaffolding is basically:
    use strict;
    use warnings;
    sub report { ... }
    my $code = 0;
    while (<>) { ... }
    exit $code;

We'd spend more lines effort trying to consolidate them than just copying that around.
