man-db: Correctly resolve man page links.

Fixes <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/73259>.

Fixes a bug introduced in 8224555802
whereby a link such as “.so man1/bzdiff.1” would resolve to the file
that contains the link (in this case ‘bzcmp.1.zst’), as opposed to the
actual link target.  As a result, ‘man-page->entry’ would recurse,
reopening the man page that contains the link until file descriptor
exhaustion.

* guix/man-db.scm (mandb-entries): In second argument to
‘man-page->entry’, return either FILE-GZ or FILE-ZST, but not FILE.
