ldb is a LDAP-like embedded database. ldb provides a fast database with an LDAP-like API designed to be used within an application. In some ways it can be seen as a intermediate solution between key-value pair databases and a real LDAP database.

python.mk: rename PYTHON_EXT_SUFFIX to PYTHON_TAG, document, etc

EXT_SUFFIX, according to PEP 3149, refers to the full tag and
extension for compiled extension module objects, eg .cpython-311.so,
.cpython-313t.so, etc. We do not use the correct semantic meaning,
and this usage becomes ambiguous and confusing when tags do not
match between bytecode and compiled extension module objects.

Rename our PYTHON_EXT_SUFFIX to PYTHON_TAG to align with PEP 3147's
specification of a magic tag, which consists of implementation name
and shorthand version only. This is meant for bytecode and other
files containing this tag in their filename that do not depend on
a specific Python ABI for the same version. Chase all existing
consumers.

*/*: Rework manpages handling in Samba-related ports

* Remove outdated, incorrect, precompiled manpages from ${FILESDIR}/files/man.
* Properly disable manpages generation since XSLTPROC was set to true(1) WAF
  always assumed xsltproc(1) to work and if any automatic dependency pulled in
  textproc/docbook-xsl, manpages were generated even if explicitly disabled.
