that the actual build does, allowing a command like 'nix develop

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.

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.

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.
