This patch fixes a regression where the windows tools man pages appeared on the Linux and the MacOS builds

The man pages found using `FindModuleManDirs` were used in both `Docs.gmk` used to generate the documentation for the JDK as well as in `LauncherCommon.gmk` here https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/blob/efbad00c4d7931177ccc5e9bce3b30dfbac94010/make/common/modules/LauncherCommon.gmk#L195

I've separated the logic between generated the docs and the man pages. I've checked on a MacOs machine and the man pages no longer appear.

This patch will need to be backported to JDK 24.
