doc,tools: remove malfunctioning Linux manpage linker

Trott · richardlau · commit 52be37cf3998 · 2020-09-03T07:02:17.000-04:00
The Linux manpage auto-linking is resulting in extraneous links with empty text in the docs. Remove it as the only thing it affects is linked explicitly in the one document that uses it.
