	basesrc/libexec/makewhatis [netbsd-1-5]: makewhatis.c

Log Message:
Sync with netbsd-current, approved by releng-1-5:
- Optimize invokation of "nroff":
  - Redirect standard error to "/dev/null" because "nroff" error messages
    for temporary files aren't really useful.
  - Don't let "nroff" open temporary file. Use its file descriptor as
    standard input.
- Kill "nroff" process and wait for its terminiation if we can't setup
  the "libz" file handle.
- Invoke "nroff" with "-S" (safer mode) option because "makewhatis" is
  usually invoked by "root".
