Julian Eigmüller fec0829c86 man: Fix error handling when section is specified ...

Previously, man would only check if a path is not associated with a
manpage when no section was specified via the command line.

So `man gibberish` would fail with "no man page for gibberish", but `man
2 gibberish` would fail with a runtime error and still open a pipe to
  the pager leading to a nasty crash.

Moving the check outside the "if (!section)" block fixes this.

Also: if a section is specified, the error message now echoes it back
(no manpage for foo in section bar).
