Description

Currently, `util-linux` doesn't install its manpages. Sometimes it's inconvenient not to have them. The autogen should be enhanced to support optionally building and installing them.

Research direction

Start by locating the core-kit autogen definition for sys-apps/util-linux and its existing USE flag handling. Check how optional build and install features are represented, then verify that enabling USE=man builds and installs the manpages while leaving it disabled preserves the current behavior.
