Nick Craig-Wood 4ee6de5c3e docs: add a new page with global flags and link to it from the command docs
In f544234 we removed the global flags from each command as it was
making each page very big and causing 1000s of lines of duplication in
the man page.

This change adds a new flags page with all the global flags on and
links each command page to it.

Fixes #3273

## rclone rmdirs
Remove empty directories under the path.
### Synopsis
This removes any empty directories (or directories that only contain
empty directories) under the path that it finds, including the path if
it has nothing in.
If you supply the --leave-root flag, it will not remove the root directory.
This is useful for tidying up remotes that rclone has left a lot of
empty directories in.
```
rclone rmdirs remote:path [flags]
```
### Options
```
-h, --help help for rmdirs
--leave-root Do not remove root directory if empty
```
See the [global flags page](/flags/) for global options not listed here.
