Stabilize discard-references

It has been there for a few releases now (landed in 2.14.0), doesn't
seem to cause any major issue and is wanted in a few places
(https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/7087#issuecomment-1544471346).

When using [structured attributes](#adv-attr-structuredAttrs), the
attribute `unsafeDiscardReferences` is an attribute set with a boolean value for each output name.

- [`builtins.toJSON`](@docroot@/language/builtins.md#builtins-parseFlakeRef) now prints [--show-trace](@docroot@/command-ref/conf-file.html#conf-show-trace) items for the path in which it finds an evaluation error.
- Error messages regarding malformed input to [`derivation add`](@docroot@/command-ref/new-cli/nix3-derivation-add.md) are now clearer and more detailed.
- The `discard-references` feature has been stabilized.
This means that the
[unsafeDiscardReferences](@docroot@/contributing/experimental-features.md#xp-feature-discard-references)
attribute is no longer guarded by an experimental flag and can be used
freely.
