runtime(man): improve :Man completion for man-db
On man-db systems, complete with actual man sections and pages, instead
of shell commands.

I tried to come up with a portable solution for multiple man
implementations in https://github.com/vim/vim/discussions/16794 but I
think the differences between implementations were too large to do that
without overly complicated code. So instead, I implemented it for man-db
(which I think is common on Linux) and hopefully left it easier for
other people to implement it on other systems in the future if they want
to.

" Assumptions and limitations:
" 1) Manual-page references (in consequence of command-related filenames)
" do not contain non-ASCII HYPHENs (0x2010), any terminating HYPHEN
" must have been introduced to mark division of a word at the end of
" a line and can be discarded; whereas similar references may contain
" ASCII HYPHEN-MINUSes (0x002d) and any terminating HYPHEN-MINUS forms
" a compound word in addition to marking word division.
" 2) Well-formed manual-page references always have a section suffix, e.g.
" "git-commit(1)", therefore suspended hyphenated compounds are not
" determined, e.g. [V] (With cursor at _git-merge-_ below...)
" ".................... git-merge- and git-merge-base. (See git-cherry-
" pick(1) and git-cherry(1).)" (... look up "git-merge-pick(1)".)
