NO_MAN is the standard knob.  It is documented in mk/bsd.README.  It can
be used by either users or makefiles to turn off normal man page processing.
It is used for this by src/Makefile.inc1 and could be used by makefiles
generally in the same way (to make several passes).

This commit quadruples the number of makefiles in /usr/src that use
the nonstandard method MAN=.  Previously there was only 1
(libgssapi/Makefile).  Such makefiles even used to be outnumbered by
ones which use NO_MAN with its correct spelling NOMAN (there are 4 of
these).  About 200 makefiles use the standard knob.

NetBSD still uses mainly NOMAN= in makefiles.  It never uses NO_MAN
in makefiles, but uses MAN= in about 13.  It only documents NOxxx in
bsd.README, and says there that NOxxx is not intended for users.
Perhaps NO_xxx should be for users and NOxxx for makefiles.
