Add an option to apropos to display only items matching all keywords
(thanks, Alfie Costa; Debian bug #259340).
* src/whatis.c (args, long_options, main): New -a/--and option for
apropos.
(usage): Document it.
(apropos): Store a count of how many times each item has been seen
in the hashtable. If --and was given, only display an item if its
count equals the number of supplied keywords.
(main): Store the number of supplied keywords. Adjust hash free
function.
* man/man1/apropos.man1 (SYNOPSIS, OPTIONS): Document --and.
* docs/NEWS: Document this.
