eldritch horrors 07ef9f9f5d docs: skip do custom include processing for mdbook
mdbook already does include processing of its own, and the custom
processing code has always admitted as much. we don't need it for
the mdbook build at this point if we run our preprocessors in the
right order, and maybe we can even have mdbook to return complete
pages to us that we only have to pass to lowdown without any more
preprocessing of our own.

eldritch horrors 14088e1ec5 docs: remove many link-to-self
for some reason these three were anchors, not links, but had they been
links they wouldn't've worked because they're not defined anywhere but
here. in the print version of the manual they're duplicated many times
over (creating id collisions), so we should better remove them anyway.

jade 0d37b99a15 build: enable libstdc++ assertions
Benchmarks say that it does not regress performance by more than 1%
(which is where it gets really hard to measure accurately anyhow).

Meson appears to be planning to do this for us without asking us in a
release we will get in the future, and it seems good enough to ship
today:

Qyriad 5bac308c7c meson: fix warm nix3 CLI manual generation
`nix eval --write-to` refuses to write to a directory that exists at
all, so now we generate in a temporary directory, and copy the generated
tree to the build directory. This is equivalent to what the Make
buildsystem did, actually, but hopefully more robust.

Future work: documenting the doc generation architecture in the
top-level meson.build outline comment.

Qyriad c355354772 docs: replace sed invocation with an mdbook preprocessor for @docroot@
We're not entirely clear on why the links preprocessor has to be done
*before* rather than after, but we assume it is probably that as a
builtin preprocessor it does some processing on the raw book source,
and not just the JSON data.

Also a real use for Python pattern matching? I know I was surprised too.

Lunaphied 7a1054fa5f repl: improve :doc builtin repl command to support lambdas.
For a long time `nix repl` has supported displaying documentation set on
builtins, however, it has long been convention to use Markdown comments
on Nix functions themselves for documentation. This exposes that
information to `nix repl` users in a nice and formatted way.

NixOS/rfcs#145 doc-comments are primarily what this feature is intended
to consume, however, support for lambda documentation in the repl is
experimental. We do our best effort to support the RFC here.

These changes are based on [the nix-doc library](https://github.com/lf-/nix-doc) and
are licensed under the terms described in the relevant source files.

eldritch horrors 279e30e7ef build: replace changelog-d with local script
hacking changelog-d to support not just github but also forgejo and
gerrit is a lot more complicated than it's worth, even moreso since
the entire thing can just as well be done with ~60 lines of python.
this new script is also much cheaper to instantiate (being python),
so having it enabled in all shells is far less of a hassle.

we've also adjusted existing release notes that referenced a gerrit
cl to auto-link to the cl in question, making the diff a bit bigger

eldritch horrors 9cf92c012d report inherit attr errors at the duplicate name
previously we reported the error at the beginning of the binding
block (for plain inherits) or the beginning of the attr list (for
inherit-from), effectively hiding where exactly the error happened.

this also carries over to runtime positions of attributes in sets as
reported by unsafeGetAttrPos. we're not worried about this changing
observable eval behavior because it *is* marked unsafe, and the new
behavior is much more useful.

useful as one might expect.

eldritch horrors 11f35afa6f diagnose duplicated attrs at correct path
diagnose attr duplication at the path the duplication was detected, not
at the path the current attribute wanted to place. doing the latter is
only correct if a leaf attribute was duplicated, not if an attrpath was
set to a non-attrset in one binding and a (potentially implied) attrset
in another binding.

eldritch horrors 512c1f05c3 Unify and refactor value printing
Previously, there were two mostly-identical value printers -- one in
`libexpr/eval.cc` (which didn't force values) and one in
`libcmd/repl.cc` (which did force values and also printed ANSI color
codes).

This PR unifies both of these printers into `print.cc` and provides a
`PrintOptions` struct for controlling the output, which allows for
toggling whether values are forced, whether repeated values are tracked,
and whether ANSI color codes are displayed.

Additionally, `PrintOptions` allows tuning the maximum number of
attributes, list items, and bytes in a string that will be displayed;
this makes it ideal for contexts where printing too much output (e.g.
all of Nixpkgs) is distracting. (As requested by @roberth in
https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/9554#issuecomment-1845095735)

Please read the tests for example output.

Future work:
- It would be nice to provide this function as a builtin, perhaps
  `builtins.toStringDebug` -- a printing function that never fails would
  be useful when debugging Nix code.
- It would be nice to support customizing `PrintOptions` members on the
  command line, e.g. `--option to-string-max-attrs 1000`.
