manual,VBoxManage,isomaker/viso: Require all refsect1 and refsect2 elements to have @id attributes in manpages (refentry) to make these predictable and the split up topic files easier to handle for the docs team. Also requires these @id values to start with the refentry @id + '-'. Corrected a few bogus ones. Because 'controlvm' has too many sub-commands, HELP_SCOPE_ IDs will not be generated for 'See Also' and 'Examples' sections. bugref:10302

62 <para>
63 The <command>VBoxManage adoptstate</command> command enables you
64 to change the state of a virtual machine (VM) to a state described
65 in a saved state file (<filename>.sav</filename>). This action is
66 referred to as a VM <emphasis>adopting</emphasis> a saved state
67 file. The saved state file must be separate from the VM
68 configuration.
69 </para>
70 <para>
71 When you start the VM after adopting the saved state, the VM
72 restores its state from the saved state file.
