Michael Kerrisk a1712680c4 man.7: Various fixes for description of NAME section 
As noted by reporter:
* The code sample given for the NAME section is incomplete because
  the actual content sample is not given.
* Additionally, the description assumes that the item described is
  a command, which need not be the case.
* The command makewhatis is not present on my system; the
  documented tool to create the whatis database is called mandb.
* The description on .SH NAME in man(7) should either copy the
  relevant paragraph of lexgrog(1) or refer to it.
