Valentin Gagarin e07448ba6b convert table to subsections
this form is much easier to maintain (also with minimal diffs), and
allows for more details on each operator.

this change a purely mechanical transformation, without changing any contents.

Eelco Dolstra c164d304f3 nix develop: Set personality
This makes 'nix develop' set the Linux personality in the same way
that the actual build does, allowing a command like 'nix develop
nix#devShells.i686-linux.default' on x86_64-linux to work correctly.

John Ericson 0251d44cc2 Make ./mk/run-test.sh work by itself; add mk/debug-test.sh
First, logic is consolidated in the shell script instead of being spread
between them and makefiles. That makes understanding what is going on a
little easier.

This would not be super interesting by itself, but it gives us a way to
debug tests more easily. *That* in turn I hope is much more compelling.
See the updated manual for details.

Valentin Gagarin ebeaf03558 do not render links in man pages
this is a follow-up on e7dcacb.

most links are relative and this should not be too much of a detriment.

Valentin Gagarin b8a1ff98c1 use HTML anchors for config parameters
this avoids incorrect rendering on the man pages, since `lowdown`
neither parses the anchor syntax nor HTML.

this should rather be fixed in lowdown, as adding more anchors
would otherwise produce ever more noise and error-prone repetition.

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.
