API_MAN

There are over 1,450 API-related manpages in the LibreSSL port's plist. For
many (most?) users, they don't need or want these API manpages.

The attached patch adds an API_MAN option that controls whether manpages are
installed. It's a simple patch that just does the work in the plist. It's on by
default (meaning all manpages get installed) so the default package doesn't
change. It also doesn't affect the man1 stuff, which more people are likely to
use.

When using the API_MAN option, the number of files goes down to less than 100,
a reduction of 94%. I submitted a similar patch for the openssl port (bug
#201459). As I said in that PR, adding in this option won't stop the sky from
falling, but it'd be a nice option to give to users.
