Log Message:
-----------
In man(1) mode with a specific section requested,
try harder to find the best match.

Use this order of preference:
1. The section in both the directory name and the file name matches exactly.
2. The section in the file name matches exactly.
3. The section in the directory name matches exactly.
4. Neither of them matches exactly.
The latter can happen when mansearch() finds substring matches
or when the second .Dt argument mismatches the dir and file names.

Lorenzo Beretta <loreb at github> reported that this caused real 
problems on Void Linux, like "man 3 readline" showing readline(3m).
See https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/9868 for details.

-- man 3 readline may show readline(3m)
