Update to Linux man-pages 6.9
In 6.8, Linux man-pages "build system" changed so that running
GNU make (together with a number of other tools) is required to
arrive at the final form of the man pages.[1]  That said, the only
currently observable difference seems to be "Linux man-pages (unreleased)"
instead of, say, "Linux man-pages 6.9" in the man page footer
(and the release announcement seems to support that observation),
so this commit preserves the install-by-copying procedure, only
adapting the path extraction.  The installed version is always
recorded in exman.1, anyway.
