PATCH: man -l (local-file) completion

[Clint Adams]

This is a quick hack to have files completed for 'man -l' rather than
manpages.  This is good for the man-db used by Debian.  The only other
man I can think of that uses -l is Solaris, and though it has a different
meaning, I don't think completing manpages nor filenames is particularly
useful there, so this shouldn't really hurt.

This should naturally be subsumed by more comprehensive options handling.

Yes, it looks like _man is next to use _arguments.
