Docbook version of manual page added.
This is based on my nroff version but much cleanup and changes.
Most notable I removed some usage that needs to be put in the
other manual pages for the modules.
Also need to re-add some examples here.

I will be adding the examples and more detail to the users guide.

I will later commit the new generated nroff version (which is
already in svn).

+    <title>DESCRIPTION</title>
+    <para>
+      The <command>bindctl</command> tool is a user interface to
+      the BIND 10 services.  The program can be used to control
+      the components and configure the BIND 10 options.  The options
+      may be specified
+<!-- TODO: as command-line arguments, or --> via its
+      interactive command interpreter.
+    </para>
+
+    <para>
+      The <command>bindctl</command> prompt shows
+      <quote>&gt; </quote>.
+       The prompt will also display the location if changed.
+       The options are based on the module in use.
+       The usage is:
+       <command>module</command> <command>command</command> <replaceable>param1 = value1 , <replaceable>param2 = value2</replaceable></replaceable>
+     </para>
