[PATCH] doc: Fix parallel build of roff files

[Austin Clements]

The roff build rule builds all of the roff files in a single command.
Previously, this was expressed as a multi-target rule, but since this
is equivalent to specifying a copy of the rule for each target, make
-jN could start up to N parallel instances of this command.  Fix this
by bottlenecking this rule through a single stamp file.

This also removes the unused man.stamp from CLEAN.
