BusyBox 1.11.0 man patch for "cat"

Hello,

I'd like to welcome comments on my first bb patch (it's the first I've needed to do since I've started using 1.0.0). I like the new "man" applet, but it needs nroff and gtbl. Unfortunately, I didn't prepare the c++ compiler and the gnu tools won't compile. No worry though, I've updated busybox to support "cat" pages also. This requires less space than installing all the GNU tools.

The diff is applied, generated with "diff -au source modified".

So, I have
/share/man/cat1
/share/man/man1

It searches first in the "cat" pages and if it isn't found, then searches in the "man" pages. I'm sure there could be some optimisations made....

Thanks,
Jason.
