John Ericson 523359d133 WIP: Document the design of Nix
The current docs are all "how to do things" and no "what is Nix" or "why
are things the way they are".

I see lots of misconception on the wider internet, and I also think we
would benefit from a "living document" to answer some questions people
currently turn to the thesis for.

I think a new section of the manual can address all these issues.

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it is out of date, all over the place in level of detail, is really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

Eelco Dolstra bc4b7521f4 Rename rl-2.5.md to rl-next.md
Having a generically named file for release notes for the next release
makes things easier for PRs.
