doc: Update the example VCS snapshot package definition.

In commit ee17a9e06e636400e3354796a42ac445dbcc8f96, the helpers git-version
and git-file-name removed the need to build version and file name strings
manually for packages that use VCS snapshots.

doc/guix.texi (Version Numbers): Use git-version and git-file-name.
