Using man page 3 for AVR-LibC documentation may hide the host's man page, like for

$ man printf

which would show AVR-LibC's instead of the host's. This patch installs the man pages in page 3avr, so commands like

$ man _BV

will still invoke libc's definition. To access the avr version of printf:

$ man 3avr printf

@sprintersb sprintersb added this to the v2.3 milestone Sep 27, 2025
Instead of hard-coding the man page section in configure.ac,
this patch adds a new configure option --with-man-page=
defaulting to 3avr.
