Never create empty databases.
When pkg_add(1)ing packages installing manual pages into some directory,
the database in that directory automatically gets created or updated,
no change so far. This patch causes the database file to be
automatically unlinked when pkg_delete(1)ing the last package having
manual pages in that directory, to leave less cruft behind.
