Just say that the databases are intended for use by apropos(1), whatis(1),
and man(1), without restricting that statement to "man -k".
Suggested by and patch OK'ed by jmc@.

While only apropos(1) and whatis(1) strictly require the database
and while our man(1) implementation can find many manual pages even
when no database is available or when the database is incomplete or
corrupt, it does use the database even without -k whenever possible.
Consequently, this change makes the manual page less confusing.

Never create empty databases.

When pkg_add(1)ing packages installing manual pages into some directory,
the database in that directory automatically gets created or updated,
no change so far.  This patch causes the database file to be
automatically unlinked when pkg_delete(1)ing the last package having
manual pages in that directory, to leave less cruft behind.

Suggested by ajacoutot@.

Now that our man.conf(5) format is mature and extremely simple,
delete manpath(1) support.  With the mandoc-based man(1), manpath(1)
is utterly useless.  Just set MANPATH_DEFAULT in configure.local
for sane operating system defaults, use man.conf(5) for machine-
specific modifications, and use ${MANPATH}, -m, and -M for user
preferences.

Reduce the verbosity of makewhatis -t:
In the past, it always showed the title lines of the files processed.
Now, it only shows them when called with -D.
That is better because pkg_create calls makewhatis -t.
It is also more consistent with -D behaviour in non- -t modes.
Issue reported by ajacoutot@; ok espie@ ajacoutot@ jasper@.
