 1.30  19-Jun-2022  gutteridge man.conf.5: improve wording on searching alternate machine paths

As requested by uwe@. Hopefully this is clearer now.
 1.29  18-Jun-2022  uwe man.conf(5): Tweak formatting for prettier PS output.
 1.28  18-Jun-2022  gutteridge man.conf.5: add details about the machine line and search order

 1.27  16-Jun-2016  abhinav Replace makewhatis(8) with makemandb(8) in SEE ALSO.
 1.26  07-Apr-2015  plunky change _whatdb => _mandb as that is the correct keyword here,
and move it to the correct position in the list.
 1.25  03-Mar-2015  christos there is no more makewhatis; it has been replaced by makemandb
 1.24  28-Jun-2013  wiz branches: 1.24.6;
Prefer Aq to \*[Lt] etc.
 1.23  27-Jun-2013  jdf * adjust indentation of list block
* fix capitalization

Patch supplied by Bug Hunting.
 1.22  29-Apr-2012  christos branches: 1.22.2;
document _machine
 1.21  27-Dec-2011  apb Document the reality that the _build and _crunch commands should each
contain exactly one "%s". The previous description allowed any number
of "%s" in the _build command, but that does not match the actual
behaviour of either man(1) or catman(8).
 1.20  10-Feb-2007  reed branches: 1.20.34;
Add "catman" to the SEE ALSO.
 1.19  13-Apr-2006  wiz Bump date for previous.
New sentence, new line.
Remove trailing whitespace.
 1.18  10-Apr-2006  chuck fix .Xr to invalid man page that i put in by mistake
 1.17  10-Apr-2006  chuck rework the wording in these man pages (mainly in man.conf.5) based on
some old notes I found to make it clearer and easier to understand
how the man stuff works (hopefully!).
 1.16  07-Aug-2003  agc Move UCB-licensed code from 4-clause to 3-clause licence.

Patches provided by Joel Baker in PR 22365, verified by myself.
 1.15  30-Sep-2002  grant New sentence, new line. Some mdoc cleanup.
 1.14  08-Mar-2002  wiz Xr makewhatis 8, not 1.
 1.13  08-Mar-2002  jdolecek xref makewhatis(8), it now uses man.conf too
 1.12  08-Feb-2002  ross Generate <>& symbolically. I'm avoiding .../dist/... directories for now.
 1.11  01-Dec-2001  wiz Sort sections.
 1.10  01-Dec-2001  wiz Whitespace cleanup.
 1.9  25-Jun-2001  lukem _whatdb has supported glob(3)ing pathnames for over 3 years ...
 1.8  27-May-2000  jdolecek allow to specify relative paths for sections in man.conf - they are used
similarily to _subdir, but only when appropriate
fix -m handling, so that e.g. "man -m . 3 printf" works as it should
add new -S flag, to specify a string the result path has to contain
g/c some unused stuff

Written by Chuck Cranor, with only cosmetic changes & const poisoning by me.
