[bug#62625] [PATCH] po: Do not auto-translate cross-references to other manuals.

[Florian Pelz <pelzflorian@pelzflorian.de>]

Reported by Gottfried at
<https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-guix/2023-04/msg00000.html>.

* guix/build/po.scm (xref-regexp): Dispatch on the number of
arguments.  Ensure there is no info-manual argument or it is empty.
(translate-cross-references): Adapt to changed regexp.
