Comment out the architecture section 
This needs more review and probably should be a separate book.

Valentin Gagarin 39f01176a7 design -> architecture, add motivation 
following ideas found in Architecture of Gazelle[1]

Valentin Gagarin 7598126391 remove separate meta-section, add architecture diagram 
the diagram is a first approximation and only covers that same section.
of course there is much more going on, and other features should at some
point also be illustrated.

we also have to think about presentation format and technicalities
behind it. the manual has to render to `man`, but we may want something
more refined for web view.

John Ericson 0737094161 Add draft "Rosetta stone" by @fricklerhandwerk and stub commentary 
The idea and most of the execution are @fricklerhandwerk's. I changed a
few things best I could based on @edolstra's corrections, and a Bazel
glossary.

John Ericson 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.

Valentin Gagarin 499ed26508 manual: remove "Writing Nix Expressions" chapter 
it is out of date, all over the place in level of detail, is really
about `nixpkgs`, and in general instructions should not be part of
a reference manual.

also:
- update redirects and internal links
- use "Nix language" consistently
