Subject: [bug#69896] [PATCH v3] gnu: Add emacs-noman.

* gnu/packages/emacs-xyz.scm (emacs-noman): New variable.

Review:
  * Synopsis and description are brief but fine
  * License is correct
  * Patch applies clean, guix lint and guix build --check report no problems
    are introduced
  * Tested by installing, adding '(require 'noman)' to emacs.el, running emacs
    and issuing 'M-x noman<ret>git<ret>' and then navigating the help pages
    (this is actually pretty cool!)
  * *Very* cursory look over the upstream source code shows nothing malicious
