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 about
Get quota information from the remote.
### Synopsis
Get quota information from the remote, like bytes used/free/quota and bytes
used in the trash. Not supported by all remotes.
This will print to stdout something like this:
Total: 17G
Used: 7.444G
Free: 1.315G
Trashed: 100.000M
Other: 8.241G
Where the fields are:
* Total: total size available.
* Used: total size used
* Free: total amount this user could upload.
* Trashed: total amount in the trash
* Other: total amount in other storage (eg Gmail, Google Photos)
* Objects: total number of objects in the storage
Note that not all the backends provide all the fields - they will be
missing if they are not known for that backend. Where it is known
that the value is unlimited the value will also be omitted.
Use the --full flag to see the numbers written out in full, eg
Total: 18253611008
Used: 7993453766
Free: 1411001220
Trashed: 104857602
Other: 8849156022
Use the --json flag for a computer readable output, eg
{
"total": 18253611008,
"used": 7993453766,
"trashed": 104857602,
"other": 8849156022,
"free": 1411001220
}
```
rclone about remote: [flags]
```
