Switch to mandoc's version of makewhatis(8), whatis(1), apropos(1) utilities.

Description

Switch to mandoc's version of makewhatis(8), whatis(1), apropos(1) utilities.

This change among other things improve search capabilities over the manpages
allowing fine grain query.

A new build option WITHOUT_MANDOCDB has been added to keep the ancient version
of the database and the tools. The plan is to entirely remove this option before
11.0-RELEASE.
