Correct and shorten the description of the sort order of apropos(1)
results. As a matter of fact, which manpath the page comes from does not matter in that context. That only matters for the priority of pages in man(1) mode (without -a, -f, and -k). Noticed while working on a patch from Yuri Pankov <yuripv at FreeBSD>.
