Remove confusing use of "on-line"
Nowadays "on-line" tends to be understood as "on the internet" rather
than "on a screen", so avoid the term.
Reported by Dan Jacobson. Fixes Debian bug #774402.
* docs/man-db.lsm: Say "system help files" rather than "on-line help
files".
* man/man1/man.man1 (NAME): Say "system reference manuals" rather than
"on-line reference manuals".
* manual/intro.me (Introduction): Say "information" rather than "online
information".
* manual/man_db.me: Say "manual page system" rather than "online manual
page system".
* man/man1/lexgrog.man1 (EXAMPLES): Update examples quoting man(1)'s
description.
* manual/db.me (Example database): Likewise.
* manual/intro.me (Introduction): Likewise.
* src/tests/man-mandatory-manpath: Update test quoting man(1)'s
description.
