"port select" should link manpages

Description
port select makes it easy for a user to manage multiple versions of a port. However, there is no symbolic link in /opt/local/share/man corresponding to that in /opt/local/bin. For example, after typing port select gcc mp-gcc49, the command gcc runs the selected version. However, man gcc says "No manual entry for gcc."
Selecting a version using port select should also make appropriate symbolic links so the manpage for the selected version is displayed when man <group> is given.

The
port selectmechanism can already link anything; it’s up to the individual*_selectports to specify which files to link. For instance, the python, python2, and python3 groups do link man pages.Duplicate of #29752, which I’ll expand to cover all select groups.
