doc/man: only mention `-llttng-ust-common` in synopses (conditionally)

LTTng-UST only requires that you link your application or tracepoint
provider package with `-llttng-ust-common` if you define
`_LGPL_SOURCE` before you include, directly or indirectly,
`<lttng/tracepoint.h>`.

The `_LGPL_SOURCE` definition is specific to the EfficiOS/LTTng
projects.

Because defining `_LGPL_SOURCE` is not considered the typical scenario,
remove instructions to link with `-llttng-ust-common` throughout the
manual pages, except in synopses, to make such instructions more
readable/light.
