multiple pages: replace all die.net links (#5528)
Most of the links were replaced by manned.org,
except when there are more up-to-date sources (like `ifup`)
or first-party sources (like `sftp`).

# e2image
> Save critical ext2/ext3/ext4 filesystem metadata to a file.
> More information: <https://manned.org/e2image>.
- Write metadata located on device to a specific file:
`e2image {{/dev/sdXN}} {{path/to/image_file}}`
- Print metadata located on device to stdout:
`e2image {{/dev/sdXN}} -`
- Restore the filesystem metadata back to the device:
`e2image -I {{/dev/sdXN}} {{path/to/image_file}}`
- Create a large raw sparse file with metadata at proper offsets:
`e2image -r {{/dev/sdXN}} {{path/to/image_file}}`
- Create a QCOW2 image file instead of a normal or raw image file:
`e2image -Q {{/dev/sdXN}} {{path/to/image_file}}`
