We want the $doc, $man outputs to be symlinks pointing to nix-manual and
nix-manual.man. Creating the directories first makes the `ln` command
produce symlink $doc/${nix-manual} instead.
```
$file /nix/store/q4dwlnd36gpfajgfcp6hca2xwy068wjq-nix-2.27.1-man/rwh8ky3k040wyrywl8k2v5b3csdfbdg7-nix-manual-2.27.1-man
/nix/store/q4dwlnd36gpfajgfcp6hca2xwy068wjq-nix-2.27.1-man/rwh8ky3k040wyrywl8k2v5b3csdfbdg7-nix-manual-2.27.1-man:
symbolic link to /nix/store/rwh8ky3k040wyrywl8k2v5b3csdfbdg7-nix-manual-2.27.1-man
```
This is the reason `nix-env --help` is once again broken on 2.26/2.27/master
after 4108529.
