  1. compress-man-pages: symlink compressed manpages deterministically

    For example graphviz has chained symlinked manpages: dot2gxl.1 is
    a symlink to gv2gxl.1 which is a symlink to gxl2gv.1
    
    The second loop replaces each non-compressed symlink to a compressed
    symlink. The target is determined with 'readlink -f', which follows
    links recursively until the first name that is not a link (so either
    the 'target name' or the first 'dangling' symlink).
    
    This means that if the loop converted dot2gxl.1 before converting
    gv2gxl.1 it would add a symlink `dot2gxl.1.gz->gxl2gv.1.gz`. When
    it converted gv2gxl.1 first, it would then add a
    `dot2gxl.1.gz->gv2gxl.1.gz` symlink.
    
    Both are 'correct', but it's weird the result depends on the order
    in which 'find' returns the files. This PR makes the behaviour
    deterministic.
