It implements missing man(7) macros used in base by kerberos/ntp and makes them
supported by mandoc.
This import should have been done before the removal of groff.

Note that mandoc does not use anymore sqlite3 but a home made database format
An important improvement has been made as well in makewhatis performance:
Tests on my laptop shows makewhatis on the entire system goes from 26s to 12s
The mandoc search database generation uses each page's inode number as
a hash key to index hard linked pages only once. However, it also
processed the pages ordered by hash key resulting in effectively non-
deterministic output.
Instead:
1) provide fts_open() with a comparison function to process directories
and files in a deterministic order
2) in addition to the existing hash, insert pages into a linked list
which will be sorted (by virtue of 1)
3) iterate over pages by the list in 2, instead of hash order
I will work on upstreaming this change.

- Compatiblity with existing manpages has been improved
- Now support ".so" directive with compressed manpages (which fixes a regression
we have since we have new man(1))
