Alan Jenkins 62f058980e policycoreutils, python: Fix bad manpage formatting in "SEE ALSO"
Fix missing and surplus commas.  Fix the following formatting errors:

    .BR selinux(8)

renders the the "(8)" in bold as well as the "selinux".  This is wrong.

    .B selinux
    (8)

renders with a space between "selinux" and "(8)", this is wrong.

    .B selinux (8)

commits both of the above mistakes.

    .BR selinux (8), apparmor (8)

omits the space separating "selinux(8)," and "apparmor(8)", this is wrong.
Correct all the above using the following markup:

    .BR selinux (8),
    .BR apparmor (8)

.SH NAME
semodule \- Manage SELinux policy modules.
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B semodule [options]... MODE [MODES]...
.br
.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
semodule is the tool used to manage SELinux policy modules,
including installing, upgrading, listing and removing modules.
semodule may also be used to force a rebuild of policy from the
module store and/or to force a reload of policy without performing
any other transaction. semodule acts on module packages created
by semodule_package. Conventionally, these files have a .pp suffix
(policy package), although this is not mandated in any way.

.TP
.B \-B, \-\-build
