libutil: generate experimental and deprecated features from data
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.
