man/{portage,make.conf}.5: Files in subdirs are parsed in lexical order
Most files in packages.*, make.conf/*, *.postsync.d/* are parsed not just in
ascending alphabetical order, but actually in lexographical (lexical) order,
which means alpha-numerically + symbols.
Closes: https://github.com/gentoo/portage/pull/616
