The inclusion of 0a0f748641 broke the build with the -DNO_ROOT option.
Specifically, that commit adds some relative paths (with `..`) to METALOG
that make other tools using that log, fail afterwards (tar, makefs...).
It's been argued[1] if this is really something mtree(8) should handle more
graciously. In the meantime, fix the breakage but changing the order in which
the links are created: first in the parent directory, then in the
architecture-specific one.
We keep the architecture-specific directories an the links to the parent
directories. This is something that we might want to change in the future.
This commit is based on a concept patch by avg@.

Differential Revision: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D33126
Building and installing architecture-specific man pages only raises a number of
problems:
* The https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi is incomplete. As an
example, it does not show results for pae(4). The reason for this is
that the cgi interface runs on FreeBSD amd64.
* In FreeBSD amd64 some manual pages have broken X-refs. See hptrr(4)
for an example.
* Also, we have broken links in our Release Notes. This is a
consequence of the first point. See
https://www.freebsd.org/releases/13.0R/hardware/#proc-i386.
Make MAN_ARCH default to 'all' so we build all the man pages for all the
architectures. The difference in disk space is negligible. Also link
architecture-specific man pages to their own section while keeping their own
namespace.

MFC after: 4 weeks
the value for "unknown" 0xffffffff. The underlying kernel drivers should
be updated to only return 255 but the ABI is used by too many userland
utilities.
Also, make this WARNS 6 compatible.
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
