Run makewhatis in the background

Browse source 
In the new __fish_apropos, makewhatis is run explicitly to generate the
whatis database. However this can be a little slow. Run it in the
background, after the apropos call completes so as to avoid a weird
race.

This means that descriptions may not be available the first time the
user invokes it, but that's better than appearing to hang for a while.
