man-pages: Make it findable by manpages
Previously `nix-shell -p man-pages` wouldn't work, because `man` by
default looks up man pages only for the packages that appear in PATH.
Since man-pages didn't have anything in $out/bin though, it wouldn't be
put on PATH.
This fixes that by just creating an empty $out/bin
