synopsis: "`builtins.nixVersion` now returns a fixed value \"2.18.3-lix\""
build: replace changelog-d with local script hacking changelog-d to support not just github but also forgejo and gerrit is a lot more complicated than it's worth, even moreso since the entire thing can just as well be done with ~60 lines of python. this new script is also much cheaper to instantiate (being python), so having it enabled in all shells is far less of a hassle. we've also adjusted existing release notes that referenced a gerrit cl to auto-link to the cl in question, making the diff a bit bigger closes https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/issues/176 Change-Id: I8ba7dd0070aad9ba4474401731215fcf5d9d2130

doc: add release note credits and categories for all the changes in Lix This does not add missing release notes, and it doesn't do anything about the profiles feature we would really like to have so we can have consistent credit. Change-Id: I72a6f7acfcff85f380be17dac76501a6f4693776

`builtins.nixVersion` now returns a fixed value `"2.18.3-lix"`. This prevents
feature detection assuming that features that exist in Nix post-Lix-branch-off
might exist, even though the Lix version is greater than the Nix version.
In the future, check for builtins for feature detection. If a feature cannot be
detected by *those* means, please file a Lix bug.
