bug#54961: 28.1; info-display-manual completions issues

I'm happy to see info-display-manual added to Emacs 28.1 but
the completions offered leave something to be desired.

First, they include manuals named "./" and "../" which
shouldn't be there.

Second I seem to see duplicates, if I complete with input
"emacs" I see candidates "emacs" and "emacs.info.gz" and
similar duplicates for emacs-mime and emacs-gnutls, so 3
candidates show as 6.  This may be an artifact of the
macport build I'm using.  It happens from emacs -q and I
can't easily test on vanilla gnu emacs.

Third it would be really nice if there were an
affixation-function that added the one line description of
the manual for a completions framework to show when
completions-detailed is t.  Perhaps it could get the info
from Info-dir-contents?
