... where a bare submodule is an option that has a type like
`submoduleWith x`, as opposed to `attrsOf (submoduleWith x)`.
This makes migration unnecessary when introducing a freeform type
in an existing option tree.
Closes#146882
This ensures that the module file locations are propagated to the
freeform type, which makes it so that submodules in freeform types now
have their declaration location shown in the manual, fixing
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/132085.
In addition, this also newly allows freeformTypes to be declared
multiple times and all declarations being merged together according to
normal option merging.
This also removes some awkwardness regarding the type of `freeformType`
This type correctly merges multiple option types together while also
annotating them with file information. In a future commit this will be
used for `_module.freeformType`
Makes all options rendered in the manual throw an error if they don't
have a type specified.
This is a follow-up to #76184
