[Bug 1839533] [NEW] .whl/.egg support in lesspipe is undocumented

[Josh Holland]

Public bug reported:

Support for .whl/.egg files (used in Python packaging) was added to
lesspipe in version 487-0.1 of less[1], but the lesspipe(1) manual page
was apparently not updated at the time, and does not currenly list
.whl/.egg as supported file types.

This looks like a Debian bug, since the manual page was apparently
written for Debian, but reportbug complains at me when I try to use it
to submit a bug to the Debian BTS, so hopefully someone who knows what
they're doing can report this upstream.
