When convering a POD documentation, possibily combining various
sub-documents together, simplify the L<> links that explicitly point to
the very same documentation being generated.
For example, when generating the virt-builder documentation, links like
L<virt-builder(1)/SECTION>
will be turned into
L</SECTION>
thus not making Pod::Simple parse them as external reference.
While it is a slightly crude hack, it seems there's no easy way to
process the link parsing with Pod::Simple subclasses.
