The previous hash was too short and caused evaluation-time errors like:
invalid SRI hash 'sha256-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA='
Additionally, since the fact that this is broken implies that nobody
could have been using it, "SRI" is a bit of a vague and obscure term,
`fakeSriHash` would be somewhat of a mouthful, and the relevant fetcher
parameters are just called `hash`, rename it to `fakeHash`.
This is used in in the manual generation for option identifiers that can
be linked. This, unike what the example describes, doesn't preserve
quotes which is needed for these identifiers to be valid.

broke the build of NixOS manual.
It does not make sense to be as strict as with attributes since we
are not limited by the CLI's inability to handle numbers.
Placeholders should not be quoted either as they are not part of Nix
syntax but a meta-level construct.

Libtool seems to be required for mongodb to compile on darwin.

Currently, not providing `name` to `cleanSourceWith` will use the name
of the imported directory. However, a common case is for this to be the
top level of some repository. In that case, the name will be the name of
the checkout on the current machine, which is not necessarily
reproducible across different settings, and can lead to e.g. cache
misses in CI.
This is documented in the comment on `cleanSourceWith`, but this does
not stop it being a subtle trap for users.
There are different tradeoffs in each case:
1. If `cleanSourceWith` defaults to `"source"`, then we may end up with a
user not knowing what directory a source store path corresponds to.
However, it being called "unnamed" may give them a clue that there is a
way for them to name it, and lead them to the definition of the
function, which has a clear `name` parameter.
2. If `cleanSoureWith` defaults to the directory name, then a user may face
occasional loss of caching, which is hard to notice, and hard to track
down. Tracking it down likely requires use of more advanced tools like
`nix-diff`, and reading the source of a lot of nix code.
I think the downside of the status quo is worse.
This is really another iteration of
https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/1305: that led to adding the `name`
argument in the first place, this just makes us use a better default
`name`.
The _module option is added as an internal option set, and it messes up
the results of module evaluations, requiring people to manually filter
_modules out.
If people depend on this, they can still use config._module from inside
the modules, exposing _module as an explicitly declared user option. Or
alternatively with the _module attribute now returned by evalModules.
newlib is the default for most tools when no kernel is provided. Other
exist, but this seems like a safe default.

This helps with troubleshooting exceptions in config values, which were hard
to track down for options with many definitions.
The trace will look like:
