[Debian-astro-maintainers] Bug#982851: mocassin: mocassinOutput(1), mocassinPlot(1) and mocassinWarm(1) manpages link to build location, not runtime

Hi,

Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0] we noticed that
mocassin could not be built reproducibly.

This led me to discover that the mocassinOutput(1), mocassinPlot(1)
and mocassinWarm(1) manpages were linking to the absolute location for
the mocassin(1) manpage, so they would not work when distributed:

For example mocassinOutput.1.gz linked to, on my machine:

  /home/lamby/temp/cdt.20210215121553.ZpEolGOptg.repro.mocassin/build-a/mocassin-2.02.73.1/debian/tmp/usr/share/man/man1/mocassin.1.gz

Patch attached that uses relative URLs instead. This change would also
make the build reproducible.
