That would involve moving the man pages from sys/boot into share/man
which IMO doesn't make much sense... Yes, they could be installed
from where ever we want, but they are usually installed from where
they reside..
Looks like only atf is installing from share/man when their pages are
located else where... We shouldn't introduce more, and atf should be
fixed... and it's only doing it for two man pages...
Hmm... atf-test-case.4 seems to be in the wrong section too... section
for is for devices and device drivers, but atf-test-case doesn't have
any relation to the kernel... It should probably be moved into section
7...
