Have ./configure try mandoc when trying to detect manpage type

[ruby-core:68157]

Description

Both NetBSD and OpenBSD use mandoc for manual formatting, which handles mdoc format. nroff isn't included by default on OpenBSD, so ./configure in a default OpenBSD installation will use man format instead of mdoc format for the manuals. This change makes ./configure recognize mandoc and use it if available. It will still try nroff first.
