uudoc: fix manpage for individual utilities has wrong name (nit) #9152

When running `uudoc manpage <utility>` for any utility that isn't coreutils, the resulting manpage lists the command name as `uudoc`. This is because uu_app() functions sets Command::name to uucore::util_name(), which unless we've set utility_is_second_arg first, would be the executable name rather than the utility name.

A failed test should pass just by updating (pulling main). |

@oech3 yes, I was just too lazy to merge main back as it seems this is far back in the review queue (understandable! this is really not too important fix) |

@sylvestre Would you fix this manpage issue before releasing 0.5.0? |

(I'd create an issue, but I think this is really too much of a nit).
