Viktor Kronvall 93e2536db2 docs: rename generated manual to index.xhtml
The `nixos-render-docs` tool outputs XHTML formatted content. In
order to convince browsers like `firefox` to treat the data as XHTML
the extension must be `.xhtml` and not `.html`.

Using the XHTML-formatted content as HTML is mainly an issue with
self-closing `<a />` tags.
