Set backup MANPATH in case man path isn’t set correctly.
Previously, this would fail at startup for non-NixOS installs:

nix-env --help

The fix for this is to just use "nixManDir" as the value for MANPATH
when spawning "man".

To test this, I’m using the following:

$ nix-build release.nix -A build
$ MANPATH= ./result/bin/nix-env --help

Fixes #1627
