man.conf(5): Drop support for .me files

The .me troff macros are unused for any known man-pages.

/usr/X11R6 has been empty on most NetBSD installations since 2008,
and the last few straggling ports dumped it in 2015. It's time to
prune references to /usr/X11R6 from our config files.

branches: 1.36.6;
Make precedence between {cat,man}[39]{,lua} logical:
- Search man3 right after cat3, before cat3lua (and man3lua).
- Search man9 right after cat9, before cat9lua (and man9lua).

branches: 1.35.8;
Fix _crunch entries, which accidentally got changed from compression
operations to decompression operations nearly two years ago. They are
used only by catman(8), which we don't run any more, but they ought to
be correct anyway.

add 3l/3lua and 9l/9lua man page sections

_build rule for man pages with a .<number><letters> extension (.3tcl, .3am, .3lua, etc.)

PR/48061: NAKAJIMA Yoshihiro: wrong description about bzip2's suffix

branches: 1.31.2;
Make mandb path configurable. makemandb (and related tools) use
the path from the _mandb variable from man.conf now.

Set _mandb in man.conf to same value as was used before.

branches: 1.30.2;
Add entries for bzip2 and xz.

branches: 1.29.2;
Obsolete /usr/share/man/cat3f that never contained any files, nor will it.

Include argument in command line

Kill one more invocation of tbl. Noticed by wiz

Switch to using mandoc for formatting man pages as new default.
Stop building catpages by default.

branches: 1.25.6;
make sparc64 search for sparc man pages for now. It might be better in
the long run to choose a different name for shared drivers though. Fixes
PR/18273.

Add machine class manual paths. No manual pages have moved yet.

Also search /usr/X11R7, and do it before X11R6

branches: 1.22.20; 1.22.28;
Remove sendmail (approved by core)

Undo last: glob(3) isn't used for _whatdb (yet?).
[broke e.g. installation of devel/netcdf]

take advantage of glob(3) support when defining _whatdb

actually make use of new features introduced in man.c (rev 1.23):
allow to specify relative paths for sections in man.conf - they are used
similarily to _subdir, but only when appropriate

branches: 1.18.4;
remove obsolete /usr/X11 entries

- use -msafer not -S; this is more portable and will work with any
nroff that has the "safer" macros installed.
- correct entry for ".me" that was broken in the previous.

Fix PR security/8069 differently:
Add a new option "-S" to "nroff" and use "nroff -S" instead of "groff -S"
because "nroff" adds some other (moderately useful and important) options
to the "groff" execution.

Use "groff -S -Tascii" instead of "nroff" to avoid security problems
if "man" is used by "root". Fixes PR security/8069 by Matthias Buelow.

Add "_crunch" section required by catman to crunch compressed cat pages.

Add sections `l' and `n' for pkg, X11, local. DTRT with manual pages
ending with `.n'. XXX: Does not DTRT for manual pages with
multi-character extensions (i.e. 3f) yet!

Sort the man page sections in a consistent order.

Remove references to obsolete directories, such as /usr/contrib,
/usr/old, /usr/X11R4, and others. Pointed out by jwise@unicast.com in
PR 5599

add /usr/pkg/man

Also look in /usr/pkg/man for manpages.
Closes PR misc/4356 by Matthias Scheler <tron@lyssa.owl.de>

branches: 1.8.2;
Search for man page source in section 3f.

add local, R5 and R6 whatis directories.

Look for section 9 (kernel) manpages. Pointed out by Erik Bertelsen
<erik@sockdev.uni-c.dk>. Also, new-style RCS id.

Remove misleading comment.

Add X11R6 to the default search list(s).

Be a bit more friendly to man pages using the roff .so command by
changing the current directory to the parent of the man -p entry, e.g.
/usr/share/man for /usr/share/man1.
Also handle hyphen replacement if it was used as plain input and no
backslash sequence was used at all in the line.
Add support for apropos -s like in the old apropos. Fix capitalisation.
Add note about optional quotation. From Abhinav Upadhyay.
Merge mandoc.h r1.99 and read.c 1.28 from upstream:
Add mparse_readmem, which allows application to run the parser directly
from memory, e.g. after de-compressing a document.
Add support for compressed man pages in all the usual formats.
Use mmap when dealing with plain files.
Add entries for bzip2 and xz.
