Research direction

Compare the bubblewrap manpage with the --help output and the source-code references to --bind-fd. Confirm whether the omission is intentional; done means the manpage and command-line help consistently document the flag, with any relevant documentation checks passing.

Description

i decided to study the --bind-fd flag and brought up the manpage. however, it wasn't there. but i knew it must be somewhere because i've seen it before. i checked the repo, and in the source code it mentions it. in fact, it mentions it from --help. so, it appears the manpage got desynced from the sourced code. is this on purpose? if not i can create a patch.
