nixos-manual: Further simplify stripAnyPrefixes 
First of all this fixes an evaluation error I introduced in ae466ba,
which wasn't triggered by any of my own tests against the change because
there are usually no NixOS options that are declared outside of the
<nixpkgs> tree. I renamed the attribute name from "fn" to "fileName"
first and later to "fullPath" but forgot one still occuring "filename".

Thanks to @vcunat for noticing this.

Another thing that he pointed out was that the "stripPrefix" function
can be factored away entirely, because it's very similar to
"removePrefix" in <nixpkgs/lib>.

Unfortunately we can't use "removePrefix" as is, because we need to
account for the final shlash.

So instead of removing it twice and/or retaining "stripPrefix", let's
append a shlash on every "prefixesToStrip" and we can use "removePrefix"
as is.

Tested with:

taalo-build nixos/release.nix -A tests.installer.simple.x86_64-linux

And:

w3m -dump "$(
  nix-build nixos/release.nix -A manual.x86_64-linux
)/share/doc/nixos/options.html"

README 

To build the manual, you need Nix installed on your system (no need
for NixOS). To install Nix, follow the instructions at

    https://nixos.org/nix/download.html

When you have Nix on your system, in the root directory of the project
(i.e., `nixpkgs`), run:

    nix-build nixos/release.nix -A manual.x86_64-linux

When this command successfully finishes, it will tell you where the
manual got generated.
