Change a HYPHEN-MINUS (code 0x55, 2D) to a minus (\-), if in front of
1) a name of an option
2) a negative number to be printed.
See man-pages(7) [Debian package "manpages"].
The output from "nroff" is unchanged.

Use the correct macro (I, B) for the font change of one argument, not
those that are used for alternating two fonts, like "BR", "IR", "RB",
or "RI".

We can use errtryhelp() now and never print usage to stderr.
One may improve all these "bad usage" messages.

In the majority of pages, pathnames are formatted as Italic,
which is the norm. However, there are several cases where they
are formatted as bold. This patch fixes a number of those
exceptions.

As per the convention shown in Documentation/howto-man-page.txt.
Also make a few other tiny adjustments along the way.

# whereis -m cal -M /usr/share/man/man1/ -f ls
cal: /usr/share/man/man1/cal.1.gz /usr/share/man/man1p/cal.1p.gz
ls: /usr/bin/ls /usr/share/man/man1/ls.1.gz
the -M also resets the search mask, so for 'ls' it returns also
binaries. That's bug. Expected result is:
# ./whereis -m cal -M /usr/share/man/man1/ -f ls
cal: /usr/share/man/man1/cal.1.gz /usr/share/man/man1p/cal.1p.gz
ls: /usr/share/man/man1/ls.1.gz
the search mask has to be sensitive only to -b -m -s options,
otherwise the semantic is pretty messy.

The MANPATH has been around long enough that it can be added to whereis
default search path.

Mostly useful when debugging why the command does, or does not, work.

Use dates without the day, use the full month name, put "util-linux" in
the lower left corner, and "User Commands" or "System Administration"
at the top center.
Also improve here and there the one-line program description.
