whereis: do not strip suffixes
The whereis implementations of FreeBSD, macOS, NetBSD, and OpenBSD do not strip suffixes. Although whereis is not a POSIX tool and has no shared standard, even its manual page indicates that the supplied names are command names. Commands do not have a suffix on Linux systems. Stripping suffixes actually leads to issues with tools like fsck.ext4, since fsck.ext4 is not the same tool as fsck and definitely not the same tool as fsck.minix.
