base: Pass the correct load path to the 'evaluate' command.

The previous load path was potentially incorrect since commit
2fe7ff87e23b18d49bd33cffc4766b7eaa382054.

* src/cuirass/base.scm (evaluate)[tokenize, load-path]: New variables.
Assume #:load-path is colon-separated.  Pass LOAD-PATH as the second
argument to 'evaluate'.
* doc/cuirass.texi (Database): Adjust documentation.
