This is a complete and user interface compatible rewrite of nman.go in
Rust which aleviates a few flaws of the previous implementation:
* Garbage collector roots for both the derivation and the build outputs
are created in a temporary directory which is cleaned afterwards. This
prevents a race condition between nman and nix-store --gc and doesn't
pollute the user's working directory.
* Instead of building just one build output, nman now checks every
output for the requested man page which fixes nman for derivations
which have their man pages split between multiple outputs, e. g. man
and devman.
Future work:
* Improve error messages reported to the user
* Man page
* Implement man page search heuristics if no section is specified:
Instead of falling back to section 1, all sections should be checked
for the desired page (in an ascending order?)

Before, nman had a habit of leaving result* links lying around.

Apart from using the go compiler, switch from `nix-shell -p`, which only worked
in certain cases, to a `nix-build` with fallback for `man` and default outputs.
Thanks to @muesli for the golang intro.
