|I added mdoc/ja.UTF-8 for Japanese manpages after installing

|ja-groff (groff-1.18.x) and converted it to UTF-8. I did not know to

Well i think it has been changed from 1.22.3 to .4. Now the doc-
prefix is not stripped no more, and any downstream consumers need
to adjust.
|Sorry for taking up your time.
I see it was not mentioned in the 1.22.4 release announcement.
This surely was an oversight only, with no ill intent.
