By defining the manpages_url we can use the :manpage: role in the
documentation for providing links to manpages. See:
https://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/usage/configuration.html#confval-manpages_url

Replace existing manpages links to use this role.

Should we pass the section as well, to make sure it'll always point to 
the same page, regardless of other sections that may appear later on? 
Otherwise it'll find the first page available, looking from

1 1p 8 2 3 3p 3pm 4 5 6 7 9 0p n l p o 1x 2x 3x 4x 5x 6x 7x 8x

(c.f. man 1 man)

(same remarks for the other links).

Cheers,
Quentin
