Radomír Bosák f9835b5077 Add support for subcommands in __fish_man_page
This commit adds a feature that after typing "git add" and pressing
"alt+h", the manpage for "git-add" instead of "git" would be displayed.

The new logic takes the first argument which doesn't start with a dash
and tries to display manpage for "command-argument"; it falls back to
"man command" it the first try doesn't succeed.

Fixes #3618.
