mandb: Fix crash when processing stray cats
Regression introduced in man-db 2.11.0. Fixes Debian bug #1027487. * src/straycats.c (check_for_stray): Pass a basic trace list to `store_descriptions`, since that's required as of commit d3e4b5522ae8152f10db0bb98e6873c9cc17ed59. * NEWS.md: Document this.
