f7c896cfd8 Dedup some markdown -> C++ big literal stuff in build system
This pattern rule was unwisely hidden in `src/libstore/local.mk`. Now it
is properly in `mk/` and we reuse it for the profile docs too.

d2162e7acd Make more string values work as installables
As discussed in #7417, it would be good to make more string values work
as installables. That is to say, if an installable refers to a value,
and the value is a string, it used to not work at all, since #7484, it
works somewhat, and this PR make it work some more.

The new cases that are added for `BuiltPath` contexts:

- Fixed input- or content-addressed derivation:

  ```
  nix-repl> hello.out.outPath
  "/nix/store/jppfl2bp1zhx8sgs2mgifmsx6dv16mv2-hello-2.12"

  nix-repl> :p builtins.getContext hello.out.outPath
  { "/nix/store/c7jrxqjhdda93lhbkanqfs07x2bzazbm-hello-2.12.drv" = { outputs = [ "out" ]; }; }

  The string matches the specified single output of that derivation, so
  it should also be valid.

- Floating content-addressed derivation:

  ```
  nix-repl> (hello.overrideAttrs (_: { __contentAddressed = true; })).out.outPath
  "/1a08j26xqc0zm8agps8anxpjji410yvsx4pcgyn4bfan1ddkx2g0"

  nix-repl> :p builtins.getContext (hello.overrideAttrs (_: { __contentAddressed = true; })).out.outPath
  { "/nix/store/qc645pyf9wl37c6qvqzaqkwsm1gp48al-hello-2.12.drv" = { outputs = [ "out" ]; }; }
  ```

  The string is not a path but a placeholder, however it also matches
  the context, and because it is a CA derivation we have no better
  option. This should also be valid.

We may also want to think about richer attrset based values (also
discussed in that issue and #6507), but this change "completes" our
string-based building blocks, from which the others can be desugared
into or at least described/document/taught in terms of.

Progress towards #7417

This gives us some round trips to test.

`EvalState::coerceToDerivedPathUnchecked` is a factored out helper just

I decided not to list everything, because we probably don't want to
encourage people using them that way.

a93110ab19 Fix nix print-dev-env & nix develop with drv paths
Fixes #8309

This regression was because both `CmdDevelop` and `CmdPrintDevEnv` were
switched to be `InstallableValueCommand` subclasses, but actually
neither should have been.

The `nixpkgsFlakeRef` method should indeed not be on the base
installable class, because "flake refs" and "nixpkgs" are not
installable-wide notions, but that doesn't mean these commands should
only accept installable values.

libexpr: quote reserved keys when printing
This fixes a bug in commands like `nix eval' which would emit invalid attribute
sets if they contained reserved keywords such as "assert", "let", etc.

These keywords will not be quoted when printed, making them valid expressions.
All keywords recognized by the lexer are quoted except "or", which does not
require quotation.
