Someone pointed out on the mailing list that if I modify man(1), I should also modify every other command with a builtin pager. I'll do that.

Additionally change the defaults for mandoc, apropos, ftp, mail, msgs,
mergemaster, and freebsd-update. And change the default PAGER variable in
/usr/share/skel, /root, and tools/tools/nanobsd.
