Make CATWIDTH override MINCATWIDTH/MAXCATWIDTH
Otherwise setting `CATWIDTH` to something larger than 80 confusingly doesn't work unless you also set `MAXCATWIDTH`. Fixes https://gitlab.com/cjwatson/man-db/-/issues/9. * src/man.c (add_roff_line_length): Skip terminal width range check if `cat_width` is set. * man/man5/manpath.man5 (FORMAT): Remove note that `CATWIDTH` should be within the range set by `MINCATWIDTH` and `MAXCATWIDTH`, and instead say that it overrides them. * NEWS.md: Document this.
