Replace the use of third-party `which(1)` executable with the shell `command -v` builtin. This avoids unnecessary dependency on a third-party executable, in favor of a shell builtin that is guaranteed by POSIX, and therefore fixes building documentation on systems that no longer installs `which(1)` by default, such as Gentoo Linux.

I'll add this to 5.2.1. |

Thanks a lot! |
