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 sync
Make source and dest identical, modifying destination only.
Synopsis
Sync the source to the destination, changing the destination only. Doesn't transfer unchanged files, testing by size and modification time or MD5SUM. Destination is updated to match source, including deleting files if necessary.
Important: Since this can cause data loss, test first with the
--dry-run flag to see exactly what would be copied and deleted.
Note that files in the destination won't be deleted if there were any errors at any point.
It is always the contents of the directory that is synced, not the
directory so when source:path is a directory, it's the contents of
source:path that are copied, not the directory name and contents. See
extended explanation in the copy command above if unsure.
If dest:path doesn't exist, it is created and the source:path contents go there.
Note: Use the -P/--progress flag to view real-time transfer statistics
rclone sync source:path dest:path [flags]
Options
--create-empty-src-dirs Create empty source dirs on destination after sync
