doc: Add detailed uninstall section for macOS
...
The multi-user installation on macOS, which is now the only option, has
gotten complicated enough that it discourages some users from checking
Nix out for fear of being left with a "dirty" system. Detailed
uninstallation instructions should make this less of an issue.

add zipAttrsWith primop
...
nixpkgs can save a good bit of eval memory with this primop. zipAttrsWith is
used quite a bit around nixpkgs (eg in the form of recursiveUpdate), but the
most costly application for this primop is in the module system. it improves
the implementation of zipAttrsWith from nixpkgs by not checking an attribute
multiple times if it occurs more than once in the input list, allocates less
values and set elements, and just avoids many a temporary object in general.
nixpkgs has a more generic version of this operation, zipAttrsWithNames, but
this version is only used once so isn't suitable for being the base of a new
primop. if it were to be used more we should add a second primop instead.

Use a dedicated make target for the man page rather than bundling the
generation as part of `install`.
Also make sure that `make install` is a fixpoint by
- Removing the generated markdown files from `MANUAL_SRCS`
- Not having the manpage generation write in its source directory so as
to not update its timestamp (it would run each time otherwise)
