Travis A. Everett 33d3889831 redirect old platform uninstall instruction links
Uninstall instructions were moved to their own page in #8267. The
overall section link was redirected in #8286, but platform-specific
links (which I give out frequently when I triage installer trouble)
weren't included.

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.

Valentin Gagarin 548c904d40 optimize performance
remove loops and function calls, modify arrays in place

this makes the whole thing harder to read, and probably only
marginally faster.

Valentin Gagarin 59be1e500a generalize anchor redirects
renaming section headers and changing manually set `id`s will break URLs
in the wild.

this change allows keeping track of all changes to ensure backwards
compatibility.

Valentin Gagarin 499ed26508 manual: remove "Writing Nix Expressions" chapter
it is out of date, all over the place in level of detail, is really
about `nixpkgs`, and in general instructions should not be part of
a reference manual.

also:
- update redirects and internal links
- use "Nix language" consistently

Jan Tojnar 26d1877d6e doc: Add redirects for the DocBook manual
There are still many links to the old manual on the web and
having them end up on the Introduction page is a bad user experience.
