guix: Index the man-db database via man pages names.
Fixes <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/38838>.

* guix/man-db.scm (write-mandb-database): Use the abbreviated base name of the
man page as the key, not its full file name.

;;; Comment:
;;;
;;; Scan gzipped man pages and create a man-db database. The database is
;;; meant to be used by 'man -k KEYWORD'.
;;;
;;; The implementation here aims to be simpler than that of 'man-db', and to
;;; produce deterministic output. See <https://bugs.gnu.org/29654>.
