manifest: Streamline; add packages useful for patch review/submission.

* manifest.scm: Fix alternate command line invocation (which would not
consider 'manifest.scm').  Use specifications instead of packages.  Remove
perl (now in the guix package's native inputs).  Add b4, git, git:send-email,
mumi, nss-certs, openssl and patman to the manifest.
