man: make man actually work by installing custom man.config

The default man.conf is named wrong and doesn't work. It references gtbl, while groff installs tbl and other things. This man.conf is imported from OE classic and runtime tested on angstrom.

Before:

root@beaglebone:~# man man
sh: /usr/bin/gtbl: No such file or directory
sh: line 0: echo: write error: Broken pipe
gunzip: write: Broken pipe
gunzip: error inflating
sh: line 0: echo: write error: Broken pipe
sh: line 0: echo: write error: Broken pipe

After:

root@beaglebone:~# man man
MAN(1)                        Manual pager utils                        MAN(1)

No manual entry for man

As a bonus a bunch of references to the buildhost get removed from the config file.
