Fixes apropos command in intro(6) man page

intro(6) states that the command:

  apropos '\(6\)'

give you a short overview about all the games.
This command does not work:

  % apropos '\(6\)'
  apropos: nothing appropriate

I guess, the intention is to list all man pages for section 6, this
can be done with the following command:

  apropos -s 6 \~.

I'm attaching a patch, that changes the man page source accordingly.

cheers
