gnu: yelp: Provide dependencies to display "man:" URIs.

Previously a command like the following one would fail to display the
expected man page:

  guix shell yelp coreutils -C \
     --expose=/tmp/.X11-unix --expose=/run/user \
     --expose=/var/run/dbus --expose=/etc/machine-id -E ^DISPLAY -- \
     /bin/sh -c \
     'export MANPATH=$GUIX_ENVIRONMENT/share/man; echo $MANPATH; yelp man:ls'

* gnu/packages/gnome.scm (yelp)[arguments]: New field.
[inputs]: Add ‘man-db’ and ‘groff-minimal’.
