Describe the bug

Links in --help output for nix [sub]commands render strangely (already reported in #622), and contain some unexpanded @docroot@ occurrences:

Steps To Reproduce

Run nix --help.

Expected behavior

@docroot@` should be expanded correctly, if present at all, in these pages.

`nix --version` output

Additional context

This doesn't seem to affect the manpages (e.g. man nix3-flake), though the references to other pages in there aren't helpful either (but I think that's what #111 is about?)
