Fix man pages generation for tinc

Tinc port installs two man pages, but both of them are empty.

$ gzip -l /usr/local/man/man8/tincd.8.gz=20
  compressed uncompressed  ratio uncompressed_name
          20            0 -99.9% /usr/local/man/man8/tincd.8
$ gzip -l /usr/local/man/man5/tinc.conf.5.gz=20
  compressed uncompressed  ratio uncompressed_name
          20            0 -99.9% /usr/local/man/man5/tinc.conf.5

The problem is in the Makefile of tinc. It causes sed to read input files f=
rom
(empty) stdin and write empty outputs because our make implementation doesn=
't
recognize '$<' in non-suffix rules. Upstream has fixed the problem in git, =
but
no releases has been made since the fix was committed.
