John Ericson d93e76fbb8 Start cross-referencing experimental features 
- Create a glossary entry for experimental features.

- Have the man page experimental feature notice link `nix-commmand`.

  (Eventually this should be programmed, based on whether the command is
  experimental, and if so what experimental feature does it depend on.)

- Document which installables depend on which experimental features.

  I tried to use the same style (bold warning and block quote) that the
  top of the man page uses.

Valentin Gagarin 61188cb820 move final template to the top 
this allows readers to enter the code starting with what is visible from
the outside, instead of working themselves up from purely technical details.

Valentin Gagarin 4655563470 refactor rendering command documentation to markdown 
idea:
- make document structure visible, like in a template
- order functions by descending abstraction
- avoid nested let bindings

Valentin Gagarin e7dcacbd7c do not render relative links in help pages 
this simplifies the setup a lot, and avoids weird looking `./file.md`
links showing up.

it also does not show regular URLs any more. currently the command
reference only has few of them, and not showing them in the offline
documentation is hopefully not a big deal.

instead of building more special-case solutions, clumsily preprocessing
the input, or issuing verbal rules on dealing with URLs, should better
be solved sustainably by not rendering relative links in `lowdown`:
