Klemens Nanni 199933efdf nixos/mandoc: Leave shell argument quoting to nix
Manually crafting a quoted string that otherwise lacks any safe-guards
looks odd.

Use `escapeShellArg` instead before prepending the path.

Change the manpath, i. e. the directories where
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>man</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
looks for section-specific directories of man pages.
You only need to change this setting if you want extra man pages
(e. g. in non-english languages). All values must be strings that
are a valid path from the target prefix (without including it).
The first value given takes priority.
