Log Message:
Teach whatis(1) to handle MLINKS

Similar to apropos(1), whatis did not utilise the mandb_links table till now.
Therefore, if it was asked about one of the links to a man page, it would
error out. This change teaches whatis(1) to look up both the FTS table
as well as the links table, thus ensuring that it is able to answer queries
about MLINKS as well.

Comparision between outputs before this change and after this change:

#Before change
$ whatis realloc
realloc: not found

#after change
$ ./whatis realloc
realloc(3) - general memory allocation operations
realloc(3) - general purpose memory allocation functions
realloc(9) - general-purpose kernel memory allocator
