doc/manual/local.mk: fix 'make install DESTDIR=...'
...
Install failure is observed when we try to install
into inplace location as non-root:
```
$ LANG=C make install DESTDIR=$PWD/__i__ V=1
RUST_LOG=warn mdbook build doc/manual -d /usr/share/doc/nix/manual
2021-08-28 13:29:58 [ERROR] (mdbook::utils): Error: Rendering failed
2021-08-28 13:29:58 [ERROR] (mdbook::utils): Caused By: Unexpected error when constructing destination path
2021-08-28 13:29:58 [ERROR] (mdbook::utils): Caused By: Permission denied (os error 13)
make: *** [doc/manual/local.mk:98: /usr/share/doc/nix/manual/index.html] Error 101
```
The change is to prefix paths with `$(DESTDIR)`.

Fix the generation of nix3 manpages
...
- Separate the generation of the manpages from their installation

Cleanup the generation of the nix3 manpages
...
Use a dedicated make target for the man page rather than bundling the
generation as part of `install`.
Also make sure that `make install` is a fixpoint by
- Removing the generated markdown files from `MANUAL_SRCS`
- Not having the manpage generation write in its source directory so as
to not update its timestamp (it would run each time otherwise)

This looks a lot better (and is also more semantically meaningful).
Since this list is generated in a Nix expression, I don't think using
HTML here is going to be the thing that puts people off modifying this
part of the documentation!

Replace the trailing markdown spaces by a backslash
...
They are equivalent according to
<https://spec.commonmark.org/0.29/#hard-line-breaks >,
and the trailing spaces tend to be a pain (because the make git
complain, editors tend to want to remove them − the `.editorconfig`
actually specifies that − etc..).

Initialize plugins after handling initial command line flags
...
This is technically a breaking change, since attempting to set plugin
files after the first non-flag argument will now throw an error. This
is acceptable given the relative lack of stability in a plugin
interface and the need to tie the knot somewhere once plugins can
actually define new subcommands.

Fix Haskell example

http://nixos.org redirects to https://nixos.org and apparently the HTTP library doesn't follow the redirect, so the output is empty.
When defining https in the request it crashes because the library doesn't seem to support https.
So this switches the example to a different http library.
