./configure --program-suffix and man pages

I noticed that if one uses --program-suffix, for example to append a
version number like -3.3.3 to all binaries, the names of man pages are
not affected.
So while one can invoke gcc-3.3.3, gcc-treessa, gcc-3.5.0, whatever,
the man pages for all of these will also be called gcc.1.
Our documentation matches this behavior, but IMHO this is a misfeature,
and we should also adjust (at least) the names of man pages and info
files accordingly.
