83eb49220b Manual: Only include the release number (e.g. 16.03)
This prevents gratuitous rebuilds of the manual every time the Git
revision changes.

Should help a bit with #17261.

f3d94cfc23 Revert "Add the tool "nixos-typecheck" that can check an option declaration to:"
This reverts commit cad8957eabcbf73062226d28366fd446c15c8737. It
breaks NixOps, but more importantly, such major changes to the module
system really need to be reviewed.

cad8957eab Add the tool "nixos-typecheck" that can check an option declaration to:
- Enforce that an option declaration has a "defaultText" if and only if the
   type of the option derives from "package", "packageSet" or "nixpkgsConfig"
   and if a "default" attribute is defined.

 - Enforce that the value of the "example" attribute is wrapped with "literalExample"
   if the type of the option derives from "package", "packageSet" or "nixpkgsConfig".

 - Warn if a "defaultText" is defined in an option declaration if the type of
   the option does not derive from "package", "packageSet" or "nixpkgsConfig".

 - Warn if no "type" is defined in an option declaration.

4fede53c09 nixos manuals: bring back package references
This reverts most of 89e983786a, as those references are sanitized now.
Fixes #10039, at least most of it.

The `sane` case wasn't fixed, as it calls a *function* in pkgs to get
the default value.

e0feace5cd nixos docs: allow displaying package references
This is an improved version of original #12357.
For the purpose of generating docs, evaluate options with each derivation
in `pkgs` (recursively) replaced by a fake with path "\${pkgs.attribute.path}".
It isn't perfect, but it seems to cover a vast majority of use cases.
Caveat: even if the package is reached by a different means,
the path above will be shown and not e.g. `${config.services.foo.package}`.

As before, defaults created by `mkDefault` aren't displayed,
but documentation shouldn't (mostly) be a reason to use that anymore.

Note: t wouldn't be enough to just use `lib.mapAttrsRecursive`,
because derivations are also (special) attribute sets.

1d62ad4746 modules.nix: Generate the extra argument set from the configuration
This allows for module arguments to be handled modularly, in particular
allowing the nixpkgs module to handle the nixpkgs import internally.
This creates the __internal option namespace, which should only be added
to by the module system itself.

29027fd1e1 Rewrite ‘with pkgs.lib’ -> ‘with lib’
Using pkgs.lib on the spine of module evaluation is problematic
because the pkgs argument depends on the result of module
evaluation. To prevent an infinite recursion, pkgs and some of the
modules are evaluated twice, which is inefficient. Using ‘with lib’
prevents this problem.

1b6c01721d Revert "nixos-manual: show manual on tty8 by default"
This reverts commit b792394119b8ffc4a2fd34a67048fe205a08dcd7.
Starting the manual on tty8 was intended as a convenience during
installation, not as a general purpose thing.  In fact, given that w3m
runs as root, this is highly insecure!

82ad8c5ce0 Make manual generation not depend on the user's configuration
Previously changing the value of certain options in configuration.nix
would cause the manual to be regenerated, because some option defaults
depend on the configuration.  This is undesirable because rebuilding
the manual is kind of slow.  So now the manual reflects an empty
configuration.

The downside is that this requires another call to fixMergeModules,
which adds about 14% to evaluation time.  Probably worth it.
