man: Use build_manpages.py for the man page sweep in both builds - #7748
Merged

Conversation
Replace the MANPAGES machinery in man/Makefile with a call to the sweep script the CMake build already uses, so both builds share one sweep and one exclusion list. The delayed-evaluation and parenthesis-escaping workarounds are no longer needed because the script globs the markdown tree at run time. Implemented with AI assistance (Claude Fable).

This looks appropriate. More common code is good. No red flags.

Follow-up to #7674, suggested in its review.
The Autotools manpages target in man/Makefile and the CMake build_manpages target maintained the same logic twice: glob the markdown tree, skip pages with an up-to-date man page, skip web-only pages. This switches man/Makefile to the build_manpages.py script the CMake build already uses, so both builds share one sweep and one exclusion list (WEB_ONLY_MD). The make-side delayed evaluation and parenthesis-escaping workarounds disappear, since the script globs at run time.
