`nix eval --write-to` refuses to write to a directory that exists at
all, so now we generate in a temporary directory, and copy the generated

buildsystem did, actually, but hopefully more robust.
Future work: documenting the doc generation architecture in the
top-level meson.build outline comment.

This puts the generated files where they are for the make system.
This is in preparation for further meson-mdbook stuff.

this notably does *not* install the `nix3-manpages` manpage the old
system generated, mostly because that page was empty and just a bug
with a coat of documentation paint.
