Improve POSIX compliance by making case-insensitive extended
regular expressions the default in man(1) -k searches, also matching what the man-db package used by many Linux distributions does. Originally requested by Wolfram Schneider <wosch at FreeBSD> via Yuri Pankov <yuripv at FreeBSD>. Feedback and OK cheloha@, and no objections when shown on tech@. Thanks to cheloha@ for pointing out that POSIX requires this behaviour and for the suggestion to explicitly say that *extended* regular expressions are used here. While here, unify spelling of case-[in]sensitive, fix a typo, update the EXAMPLES, and add a STANDARDS section.
