makepkg: provide MAN_DIRS configuration variable

Provides a MAN_DIRS variable in makepkg.conf which can be used
to specify folders to look for manual (man and info) pages to be
compressed.  Useful for packages that install to /opt.  Also
clarifies that "zipman" means "zip manuals" and covers both man
and info pages.
