On man-db systems, complete with actual man sections and pages, instead
of shell commands.
I tried to come up with a portable solution for multiple man
implementations in https://github.com/vim/vim/discussions/16794 but I
think the differences between implementations were too large to do that
without overly complicated code. So instead, I implemented it for man-db
(which I think is common on Linux) and hopefully left it easier for
other people to implement it on other systems in the future if they want
to.

This change does 2 things:
- make sure the mapping <Plug>ManBS sets the buffer to modified
to avoid a potential error message
- remove commented q mapping

Give priority to (placement) command modifiers, specifically
`:vertical`, `:horizontal` and `:tab`, ahead of `g:ft_man_open_mode`,
so that if the user says e.g. `:vert Man`, Vim does the expected thing.

If the user plays rebinding games such as
nnoremap : ,
nnoremap , :
(cf. https://konfekt.github.io/blog/2016/10/03/get-the-leader-right),
then the mappings defined by man.vim will become non-functional.

Problem: The Man plugin doesn't work that well.
Solution: Use "g:ft_man_open_mode" to be able open man pages in vert split
or separate tab. Set nomodifiable for buffer with man content. Add
a test. (Andrey Starodubtsev, closes#873)
