Introduce MAKEDEV.man*, an equivalent of MAKEDEV.mi and MAKEDEV.sub
designed to output mdoc rather than shell script, and use them to produce much better MAKEDEV.8 manual pages. Note that MAKEDEV.man relies upon BSD m4 behaviour, which all m4 binaries might not follow. mdoc help and comments jmc@, disabused ok deraadt@
