ol-man: Set window point not buffer point and wait before search

* lisp/ol-man.el (org-man-open): Set window point not buffer point and
wait before search.  When passed man:path::SEARCH `org-man-open' uses
`search-forward' to jump to the location of e.g. a heading.  Prior to
this fix it only used `search-forward', which will not change the
point of the cursor in the window, meaning that even if there is a
match it will not appear.  Use `accept-process-output' to block until
the manpage finishes rendering before searching the buffer so that
there will be something to find.
