manpage-syntax.pl: verify SEE ALSO syntax

- Enforce a single reference per .BR line
- Skip the quotes around the section number for example (3)
- Insist on trailing commas on all lines except the last
- Error on comma on the last SEE ALSO entry

- List the entries alpha-sorted, not enforced just recommended

Closes #11957
