5f4d2ac091 Improve store object section 
In particular, Nix is *not* like Git, so that needs to be fixed.

523359d133 WIP: Document the design of Nix 
The current docs are all "how to do things" and no "what is Nix" or "why
are things the way they are".

I see lots of misconception on the wider internet, and I also think we
would benefit from a "living document" to answer some questions people
currently turn to the thesis for.

I think a new section of the manual can address all these issues.

Respect the outputSpecified attribute 
E.g. 'nix build nixpkgs#libxml2.dev' will build the 'dev' output.

7708a34a51 doc: Add anchors to long lists 
Added using the following sed scripts:

- For command-ref/opt-common.md:

    s~- `(--?)([^`]+)`~- [`\1\2`]{#opt-\2}~g

- For expressions/builtin-constants.md:

    s~- `(builtins\.?)([^`]+)`~- [`\1\2`]{#builtins-\2}~g

- For expressions/advanced-attributes.md

    s~^  - `([^`]+)`~  - [`\1`]{#adv-attr-\1}~g

  and manually adjusted outputHashAlgo & outputHashMode.

- For glossary.md

    s~^  - (`([^`]+)`|(.+)) ?\\~  - [\1]{#gloss-\2\3}\\~g;
    s~(gloss-\w+) ~\1-~g

  and manually adjusted anchors for Nix expression, user environment, NAR, ∅ and ε.

- For command-ref/env-common.md

    s~^  - `([^`]+)`~  - [`\1`]{#env-\1}~g'

3272afa17b doc: Port anchors preprocessor to jq script 
Python is only pulled into the build closure by Mercurial, which might end up being removed.
Let’s port the script to jq, which is more likely to stay.

4de84e095d doc: Introduce pre-processor for adding anchors to text 
It is now possible to use the following syntax to insert anchors into the text:

    []{#anchor-name}

The anchor will allow linking to the location it is placed by appending #anchor-name to the URL.

Additionally, it is possible to create a link pointing to its own location by adding text between the square brackets:

    [`--add-root`]{#opt-add-root}
