Release 93u+m/1.0.0-rc.1

Browse source 
We're nearly there!

I intend to release ksh 93u+m/1.0.0 on 2022-08-01, precisely ten
years after the last canonical 93u+ release.

We have a week until then, so here's a release candidate. Please
try as hard as you can to break it, and to help fix known bugs.

As of this commit, the 1.0 branch is feature-frozen and will only
get bugfixes.

src/cmd/ksh93/fun/man:
- Last-minute fix: .man.try_os_man(): do not look for arguments
  with / in section 1 and 8; this can cause false positives.

Announcing: KornShell 93u+m 1.0.0-beta.(unreleased)
Announcing: KornShell 93u+m/1.0.0-rc.1
https://github.com/ksh93/ksh
In May 2020, when every KornShell (ksh93) development project was
abandoned, development was rebooted in a new fork based on the last
stable AT&T version: ksh 93u+. This new fork is called ksh 93u+m as a
permanent nod to its origin. We're restarting it at version 1.0. Seven
months after the first beta, the second one is ready. Please test this
second beta and report any bugs you find, or help us fix known bugs.
[This is a release candidate. The announcement below is preliminary.]
We're now the default ksh93 in some OS distributions, at least Debian
and Slackware! Even though we don't think it's stable release quality
yet, the consensus seems to be that 93u+m is already much better than
the last AT&T release.
In May 2020, when every KornShell (ksh93) development project was abandoned,
Martijn Dekker reboted development in a new fork based on the last stable
AT&T version: ksh 93u+. He was soon joined by two main developers and a
number of other contributors. This new fork is called ksh 93u+m as a
permanent nod to its origin.
Now, more than two years, two beta versions, a number of enhancements, and
rougly a thousand bugfixes later, *and* precisely ten years after the last
canonical 93u+ release, version 93u+m/1.0.0 of the KornShell is released!
As an initial release, this still has known bugs; please do use this version,
but also continue to test it. See TODO to help us fix the known bugs.
