36b059748d Split nix-env and nix-store documentation per-subcommand
Documentation on "classic" commands with many sub-commands are
notoriously hard to discover due to lack of overview and anchor links.
Additionally the information on common options and environment variables
is not accessible offline in man pages, and therefore often overlooked
by readers.

With this change, each sub-command of nix-store and nix-env gets its
own page in the manual (listed in the table of contents), and each own
man page.

Also, man pages for each subcommand now (again) list common options
and environment variables. While this makes each page quite long and
some common parameters don't apply, this should still make it easier
to navigate as that additional information was not accessible on the
command line at all.

It is now possible to run 'nix-store --<subcommand> --help` to display
help pages for the given subcommand.

2941a599fa Catch eval errors in hasContent
`legacyPackages` of nixpkgs trigger eval errors in `hasContent`, causing
the whole `legacyPackages` being skipped. We should treat it as
has-content in that case.

256f3e3063 Stratify ExtraPathInfo along Installable hierarchy
Instead of having a bunch of optional fields, have a few subclasses
which can have mandatory fields.

Additionally, the new `getExtraPathInfo`, and `nixpkgsFlakeRef`, are
moved to `InstallableValue`.

I did these things because https://github.com/NixOS/rfcs/pull/134 ; with
these things moved to `InstallableValue`, the base `Installable` no
longer depends on libexpr! This is a major step towards that.

Also, add a bunch of doc comments for sake of the internal API docs.

233c4cf30f error.cc: Only suggest show-trace when truncated trace items would be printed
Otherwise, a trace consisting of

frame
frame
frame
non-frame

... would reach the non-frame and print the suggestion, even though
it would have ignored the non-frame anyway.

This resulted in a peculariar situation where --show-trace would have
no apparent effect, as the trace was actually already complete.
