Valentin Gagarin ebeaf03558 do not render links in man pages
this is a follow-up on e7dcacb.

most links are relative and this should not be too much of a detriment.

Valentin Gagarin b8a1ff98c1 use HTML anchors for config parameters
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.

Post build hook signing (#7408)
* docs: Use secret-key-files when demonstrating post-build-hooks

The docs used to recommend calling `nix store sign` in a post-build
hook, but on more recent versions of nix, this results in unsigned
store paths being copied into binary caches. See
https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/6960 for details.

Instead, use the `secret-key-files` config option, which signs all
locally-built derivations with the private key.

Linus Heckemann 8e0946e8df Remove repeat and enforce-determinism options
These only functioned if a very narrow combination of conditions held:

- The result path does not yet exist (--check did not result in
  repeated builds), AND
- The result path is not available from any configured substituters, AND
- No remote builders that can build the path are available.

If any of these do not hold, a derivation would be built 0 or 1 times
regardless of the repeat option. Thus, remove it to avoid confusion.

Valentin Gagarin f7ab93b068 manual: build action -> build task
after discussing this with multiple people, I'm convinced that "build
task" is more precise: a derivation is not an action, but inert until it
is built. also it's easier to pronounce.

proposal: use "build task" for the generic concept "description of how
to derive new files from the contents of existing files". then it will
be easier to distinguish what we mean by "derivation" (a specific data
structure and Nix language value type) and "store derivation" (a
serialisation of a derivation into a file in the Nix store).

Johan Herland 1ec8810687 Explain how Nix handles antiquotation of paths
Specifically, explain why Nix does not _re_evaluate paths during a
`nix repl` session. This is a thing that bit me while playing around
with paths and antiquotation in `nix repl` while reading the Nix
language tutorial at https://nix.dev/tutorials/nix-language.
