makewhatis(8): change index build logic
This commit reflects on issues brought up by swildner. The idea
behind this change is simple: track each manual page via
its inode and append all alternative names to the same struct.
The former logic missed references across sections, so the
manual page indexing now covers all sections before creating
the whatis database.
The index now only reflects the layout of /usr/share/man (or
the specified path), and *not* the contents of a manual page,
except for its description.
As a consequence, all MLINKS are now properly referenced in
the apropos(1) output.
I wanted to have the `real' file as the first name, but it's
better to keep the style consistent with `SEE ALSO' sections
by sorting per section, then per name. Output as follows:
# apropos vcd
vcd(4), vkd(4), vke(4), vkernel(7) - virtual kernel architecture
