Currently, a bunch of documentation is generated by embedding parts of it in
the nix executable, getting it out again by running it, and then postprocessing
the output. This is bad, since it creates a pointless dependency of the
documentation on the executable, and also makes documentation generation
impossible when cross-compiling.
Instead, both the code and the documentation should be generated from data, see
#292 . Here we start applying
this approach to the experimental and deprecated features, which are done in
one go since the technical implementation is very similar.
Of course, the actual benefits are not realised yet, since the offending
pattern is used in several more places. These will be fixed later.

The principle of this is that you can either externally build it with
Nix (actual implementation will be in a future commit), or it can be
built with meson if the Nix one is not passed in.
The idea I have is that dev shells don't receive the one from Nix to
avoid having to build it, but CI can use the one from Nix and save some
gratuitous rebuilds.
The design of this is that you can run `ninja -C build clang-tidy` and
it will simply correctly clang-tidy the codebase in spite of PCH
bullshit caused by the cc-wrapper.
This is a truly horrendous number of hacks in a ball, caused by bugs in
several pieces of software, and I am not even getting started.
I don't consider this to fix the clang-tidy issue filing, since we still
have a fair number of issues to fix even on the existing minimal
configuration, and I have not yet implemented it in CI. Realistically we
will need to do something like https://github.com/Ericsson/codechecker
to be able to silence warnings without physically touching the code, or
at least *diff* reports between versions.
Also, the run-clang-tidy output design is rather atrocious and must
not be inflicted upon anyone I have respect for, since it buries the
diagnostics in a pile of invocation logs. We would do really well to
integrate with the Gerrit SARIF stuff so we can dump the reports on
people in a user-friendly manner.
