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.
