Prepend $(prefix)/share/man to the MANPATH environment variable before 
invoking 'man' from help.c:show_man_page().

This commit message is severely lacking.  Why would you _ever_ prefer the 
installed man pages before invoking "man", which should find them
anyway?

Obviously because you want manual pages corresponding to the version of
git you are invoking, not any random version of man-pages man may find
by default.
