Raf Czlonka d27c85fbe1 Fix and improve man(1) completion
Fixes several issues in the current `man(1)` completion:

- _section_ numbers are not stripped off
- _Perl Programmers Reference Guide_ (`3p`) section is ignored
- manual page name can only be completed as the 1st argument

While there, add several more manual page hierarchies, i.e. `cat*`
for _graphiz_ on OpenBSD, `/usr/local/share/man` on macOS, etc.

#+TITLE: Completions: man
** Leven 1
Completions for man pages are found via:
#+begin_src shell
for i in /usr{,/X11R6,/local}{,/share}/man/{,cat,man}[1-9lnp]{,f,p}
do
test -d $i && ls $i
done | rev | cut -d. -f2- | rev | sort -u > $MAN_CACHE
#+end_src
Currently the cache is never re-created. Operating without a cache causes
significant load times. If one requires the cache to be refreshed they can run
the following in ~.xsession~ or similar:
#+begin_src shell
rm -f ${LOAD_PATH}/cache/man
#+end_src
