[Bug documentation/11210] New: 3stap man pages colliding with 3

On a fedora machine with systemtap installed, "man strlen" gives
people the 3stap version of the man page, describing our tapset
function instead of glibc. While we are super duper extra special,
glibc is widely believed more relevant. Until we can change the mind
of the world on that particular error, we need to downgrade our
man path priority somehow.
Perhaps we need to prefix our symbols with something like "stap.".
Maybe the man pages should be installed somewhere other than the
default system man page path under /usr/share/man. Maybe the
system manpath section path (MANSECT in /etc/man.conf) needs to
be changed.
