This documents that all installables in the nix3 commands, in their
--file/-f form accept an extended syntax for the file argument,
which is the same as it is for nix-build and friends, some of which were
well known in their nix-build forms (e.g. `nix-build '<nixpkgs>' -A hello)
but are not well known in their nix3 forms (people rarely know that you
can `nix build -f '<nixpkgs>' firefox`).
Like the old CLI syntax, as documented in [1], file arguments also
accept https:// tarball URLs, `flake:` prefixed flakerefs, and the
cursed `channel:` prefixed hardened URLs.

This documents the fact that nix-build, nix-env, nix-instantiate, and
nix-shell accept an extended syntax for their file arguments, including
some well-known (but not well documented) aspects, like being able to
specify `<nixpkgs>`, but also https:// tarball URLs, `flake:` prefixed
flakerefs, and the cursed `channel:` prefixed hardcoded URLs
Same thing for the new CLI incoming :)

Since we're skipping Meson's dependency tracking, for the
internal-api-docs custom target, we should just consider it a phony
target and build it on every request.

this should make it easier to spot future instances of entries being
duplicated by accident. also add a pre-commit check to remain sorted
