this avoids incorrect rendering on the man pages, since `lowdown`
neither parses the anchor syntax nor HTML.
this should rather be fixed in lowdown, as adding more anchors
would otherwise produce ever more noise and error-prone repetition.
For each `nix.conf` option, add an empty html node with a unique `id`
that can be used as an anchor target. Also make the name of the option
be a link to that target so that it’s easily discoverable.
We can’t rewrite the whole list as an html definition list like it’s
done for the builtins because these options also appear in a man page,
and the manpage renderer (lowdown) can’t render arbitrary html. But the
hack here allows to keep the manpage and have the links in the html
version.
Fix https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/5745
Because the manual is generated from default values which are themselves
generated from various sources (cpuid, bios settings (kvm), number of
cores). This commit hides non-reproducible settings from the manual
output.
