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.
