src.mk, All pages: Move man* to man/
The root of the repository is becoming a bit overpopulated and unorganized, due to the recent addition of more mandirs, and more informative and configuration files too. Let's create a specific mandir <man/> that contains the mandirs <man[1-8]*>. Signed-off-by: Alejandro Colomar <alx.manpages@gmail.com>
