[OE-core] [PATCH 2/2] man: make man actually work by installing custom man.config

The default man.conf is named wrong and doesn't work. It references gtbl, while groff installs tbl and other things. This man.conf is imported from OE classic and runtime tested on angstrom.

Before:

root at beaglebone:~# man man
sh: /usr/bin/gtbl: No such file or directory
sh: line 0: echo: write error: Broken pipe
gunzip: write: Broken pipe
gunzip: error inflating
sh: line 0: echo: write error: Broken pipe
sh: line 0: echo: write error: Broken pipe

After:

root at beaglebone:~# man man
MAN(1)                        Manual pager utils                        MAN(1)

NAME
       man - an interface to the on-line reference manuals

SYNOPSIS
       man  [-C  file]  [-d]  [-D]  [--warnings[=warnings]]  [-R encoding] [-L
       locale] [-m system[,...]] [-M path] [-S list]  [-e  extension]  [-i|-I]
       [--regex|--wildcard]   [--names-only]  [-a]  [-u]  [--no-subpages]  [-P
       pager] [-r prompt] [-7] [-E encoding] [--no-hyphenation] [--no-justifi-
       cation]  [-p  string]  [-t]  [-T[device]]  [-H[browser]] [-X[dpi]] [-Z]
       [[section] page ...] ...
       man -k [apropos options] regexp ...
       man -K [-w|-W] [-S list] [-i|-I] [--regex] [section] term ...
       man -f [whatis options] page ...
       man -l [-C file] [-d] [-D] [--warnings[=warnings]]  [-R  encoding]  [-L
       locale]  [-P  pager]  [-r  prompt]  [-7] [-E encoding] [-p string] [-t]
       [-T[device]] [-H[browser]] [-X[dpi]] [-Z] file ...
       man -w|-W [-C file] [-d] [-D] page ...
       man -c [-C file] [-d] [-D] page ...
       man [-hV]

Check for config name:

root at beaglebone:~# rm /etc/man.config
root at beaglebone:~# man man
Warning: cannot open configuration file /etc/man.config
No manual entry for man

As a bonus a bunch of references to the buildhost get removed from the config file.

+# This file is read by man to configure the default manpath (also used
+# when MANPATH contains an empty substring), to find out where the cat
+# pages corresponding to given man pages should be stored,
+# and to map each PATH element to a manpath element.
+# It may also record the pathname of the man binary. [This is unused.]
+# The format is:
+#
+# MANBIN		pathname
+# MANPATH		manpath_element	[corresponding_catdir]
+# MANPATH_MAP		path_element	manpath_element
+#
+# If no catdir is given, it is assumed to be equal to the mandir
+# (so that this dir has both man1 etc. and cat1 etc. subdirs).
+# This is the traditional Unix setup.
+# Certain versions of the FSSTND recommend putting formatted versions
+# of /usr/.../man/manx/page.x into /var/catman/.../catx/page.x.
+# The keyword FSSTND will cause this behaviour.
+# Certain versions of the FHS recommend putting formatted versions of
+# /usr/.../share/man/[locale/]manx/page.x into
+# /var/cache/man/.../[locale/]catx/page.x.
+# The keyword FHS will cause this behaviour (and overrides FSSTND).
+# Explicitly given catdirs override.
