Subject: build: simplify: get rid of yet some more indirection variables

* configure.ac: Adjust and improve few comments.
(MAN): Rename ...
(man1_MANS): ... to this.
Ensure it isn't initialized in all Makefiles (which would lead
to spurious errors), by calling AM_SUBST_NOTMAKE on it.
Also call AM_SUBST_NOTMAKE on 'EXTRA_MANS', for consistency.
* man/local.mk (man1_MANS): Simply define to '@man1_MANS@'.
