mk: handle stale files when scdoc fails
If scdoc fails for any reason, for example because a user hasn't
installed it yet, the `> $$@` redirection will still create an empty
destination file. On re-runs gmake will see the empty file and assume
the target has already completed. This led to installing a blank
man page.
Use the GNU Make '.DELETE_ON_ERROR' special target which automatically
deletes the target if a recipe fails.
