rG809504f331fd: man: Kill off MANSUBDIRs

Summary

Three architecture dependent manuals are installed to MANSUBDIRs, creating at least two empty manual page directories on everyone's boxxen. Move those manuals to their canonical area, enhancing clarity, grepabaility, removing useless inodes, and increasing consistency with the rest of the architecture dependent manuals which are unconditionally installed, and noted at the top of the rendered manual.

The move into the generic place seems good.

The empty directories are most likely created due to definitions in etc/mtree/BSD.usr.dist. I wonder if it is populated on an i386 install?
