This updates man-db to the latest release, 2.7.6.1.

I tested that the manual-database profile hook still works. For that, I
had to pass the new configuration option 'disable-cache-owner', or else
the test suite and manpage database generation would fail.

See this commit for more info (Separate cache owner from --enable-setuid
option):

It wasn't obvious to me that it should fail so I left it in, without
that extra 'with'.

Thanks for the review!
