This puts the generated files where they are for the make system.
This is in preparation for further meson-mdbook stuff.

For a long time `nix repl` has supported displaying documentation set on
builtins, however, it has long been convention to use Markdown comments
on Nix functions themselves for documentation. This exposes that
information to `nix repl` users in a nice and formatted way.
NixOS/rfcs#145 doc-comments are primarily what this feature is intended
to consume, however, support for lambda documentation in the repl is
experimental. We do our best effort to support the RFC here.
These changes are based on [the nix-doc library](https://github.com/lf-/nix-doc) and
are licensed under the terms described in the relevant source files.

this notably does *not* install the `nix3-manpages` manpage the old
system generated, mostly because that page was empty and just a bug
with a coat of documentation paint.

we'll want to use these for the meson builds, and probably eventually
rewrite them in something that isn't plain shell. diffoscope confirms
that out/share and doc/share are equal before and after these changes

The big ones here are `trim-trailing-whitespace` and `end-of-file-fixer`
(which makes sure that every file ends with exactly one newline
character).

We don't apply any patches to it, and vendoring it locks users into
bugs (it hasn't been updated since its introduction in late 2021).

I didn't enable this by default for clang due to making the build time
10% worse or so. Unfortunate, but tbh devs for whom 10% of build time is
not *that* bad should probably simply enable this.

hacking changelog-d to support not just github but also forgejo and
gerrit is a lot more complicated than it's worth, even moreso since
the entire thing can just as well be done with ~60 lines of python.
this new script is also much cheaper to instantiate (being python),
so having it enabled in all shells is far less of a hassle.
we've also adjusted existing release notes that referenced a gerrit
cl to auto-link to the cl in question, making the diff a bit bigger

previously we reported the error at the beginning of the binding
block (for plain inherits) or the beginning of the attr list (for
inherit-from), effectively hiding where exactly the error happened.
this also carries over to runtime positions of attributes in sets as
reported by unsafeGetAttrPos. we're not worried about this changing
observable eval behavior because it *is* marked unsafe, and the new
behavior is much more useful.

we already normalize attr order to lexicographic, doing the same for
formals makes sense. doubly so because the order of formals would
otherwise depend on the context of the expression, which is not quite as
useful as one might expect.

diagnose attr duplication at the path the duplication was detected, not
at the path the current attribute wanted to place. doing the latter is
only correct if a leaf attribute was duplicated, not if an attrpath was
set to a non-attrset in one binding and a (potentially implied) attrset
in another binding.

desugaring inherit-from to syntactic duplication of the source expr also
duplicates side effects of the source expr (such as trace calls) and
expensive computations (such as derivationStrict).

test taken from 6e8d5983143ae576e3f4b1d2954a5267f2943a49; it was added
previously (and not backported because its pr was a mostly-revert), but
it's useful to have around.

Previously, there were two mostly-identical value printers -- one in
`libexpr/eval.cc` (which didn't force values) and one in
`libcmd/repl.cc` (which did force values and also printed ANSI color
codes).
This PR unifies both of these printers into `print.cc` and provides a
`PrintOptions` struct for controlling the output, which allows for
toggling whether values are forced, whether repeated values are tracked,
and whether ANSI color codes are displayed.
Additionally, `PrintOptions` allows tuning the maximum number of
attributes, list items, and bytes in a string that will be displayed;
this makes it ideal for contexts where printing too much output (e.g.
all of Nixpkgs) is distracting. (As requested by @roberth in
https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/9554#issuecomment-1845095735)
Please read the tests for example output.
Future work:
- It would be nice to provide this function as a builtin, perhaps
`builtins.toStringDebug` -- a printing function that never fails would
be useful when debugging Nix code.
- It would be nice to support customizing `PrintOptions` members on the
command line, e.g. `--option to-string-max-attrs 1000`.

Restore ambiguous value printer for `nix-instantiate`
The Nix team has requested that this output format remain unchanged.
I've added a warning to the man page explaining that `nix-instantiate
--eval` output will not parse correctly in many situations.
