[texdoc] texdoc bidi

[Takuto ASAKURA]

Hi All,

sorry for my late response.

The contents of the catalog descriptions such as "Package (source|user|)
documentation" does nothing to do with the scoring of Texdoc. It only
considers whether or not the catalog description exists.

At this point, bidi.pdf wins over bidi-doc.pdf simply because the
heuristic scoring prefers <package>.pdf than <package>-doc.pdf in general.

As a simple workaround, I will adjust the score for bidi-doc in the
default configuration file. Please be patient by the next release
of Texdoc, which will be in a month (hopefully).

Best,
Takuto
