Alexander Schmolck 8d4b6766e2 Convert short nix options to long ones
e.g. nix-env -e subversion => nix-env --uninstall subversion

The aim is to make the documentation less cryptic for newcomers and the
long options are more self-documenting.

The change was made with the following script:

<https://github.com/aschmolck/convert-short-nix-opts-to-long-ones>

and sanity checked visually.

Post build hook signing (#7408)
* docs: Use secret-key-files when demonstrating post-build-hooks

The docs used to recommend calling `nix store sign` in a post-build
hook, but on more recent versions of nix, this results in unsigned
store paths being copied into binary caches. See
https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/6960 for details.

Instead, use the `secret-key-files` config option, which signs all
locally-built derivations with the private key.

Linus Heckemann 8e0946e8df Remove repeat and enforce-determinism options
These only functioned if a very narrow combination of conditions held:

- The result path does not yet exist (--check did not result in
  repeated builds), AND
- The result path is not available from any configured substituters, AND
- No remote builders that can build the path are available.

If any of these do not hold, a derivation would be built 0 or 1 times
regardless of the repeat option. Thus, remove it to avoid confusion.

regnat 31313d1401 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..).

distributed builds: load remote builder host key from the machines file
This is already used by Hydra, and is very useful when materializing
a remote builder list from service discovery. This allows the service
discovery tool to only sync one file instead of two.
