After final improvements to the official formatter implementation,
this commit now performs the first treewide reformat of Nix files using it.
This is part of the implementation of RFC 166.
Only "inactive" files are reformatted, meaning only files that
aren't being touched by any PR with activity in the past 2 months.
This is to avoid conflicts for PRs that might soon be merged.
Later we can do a full treewide reformat to get the rest,
which should not cause as many conflicts.
A CI check has already been running for some time to ensure that new and
already-formatted files are formatted, so the files being reformatted here
should also stay formatted.
This commit was automatically created and can be verified using

conversions were done using https://github.com/pennae/nix-doc-munge
using (probably) rev f34e145 running
nix-doc-munge nixos/**/*.nix
nix-doc-munge --import nixos/**/*.nix
the tool ensures that only changes that could affect the generated
manual *but don't* are committed, other changes require manual review
and are discarded.
Adds a NixOS module which allows using mandoc as the main manual
viewer. It can be used as a drop-in replacement for documentation.man
which relies on GNU's man-db and provides more or less the same
features.
The generateCaches option requires a different implementation for
mandoc, so it is hard to share code between the two modules -- hence it
has been implemented separately. Using both at the same time makes
little sense and wouldn't quite work, so there's an assertion to
prevent it.
To make makewhatis(8) index manual pages which are symlinks to the nix
store, we need to set READ_ALLOWED_PATH to include
`builtins.storeDir`. For background and discussion see:
