5e4734a08b reword to avoid saying "build"
derivations are about data transformation, so the term "build" does not
add any information. there was also some feedback that "build task" is
not more helpful than "derivation" if you have no prior experience with
Nix or build systems, while existing associations may be misleading.

doc/hacking: fix make target to build the docs (#9033)
Was confused why `make html` didn't work while working on #9032, but
then I realized that after this section was written, the target was
renamed to `manual-html` in 6910f5dcb6.

9f93972c4d manual / manpages: Make option category names a proper subheader
Before they were an "ad-hoc" header with bold and a colon; now they are
a proper subheader.

For the man pages, this doesn't make much of a difference, but it will
help more on for the HTML manual, where things can be restyled. Again,
good separation of content vs presentation.

1d9fd3a6f8 manual / manpages: Adjust option filter filtering, move from C++ to Nix
Behavior change:

Before we only showed uption if the command-specific options were
non-empty. But that is somewhat odd since we also show common options.
Now, we do everything based on the union of both sorts of options (with
hidden-categories filtered, as before).

Implementation change:

The JSON dumping once again includes all options; the filtering of
hidden categories is done in the Nix instead. This is better separation
of "content" vs "presentation", and prepare the way for the HTML manual
vs manpages / `--help` doing different things.

This makes grouping options by category much nicer. No behavior should
be changed.

694810ba34 doc: showOptions: Move union to caller
`showOptions` itself doesn't care, so it shouldn't take two separate
arguments.

50e61f579c Allow special characters in flake paths
Support using nix flakes in paths with spaces or abitrary unicode characters.
This introduces the convention that the path part of the URL should be
percent-encoded when dealing with `path:` urls and not when using
filepaths (following the convention of firefox).

8e25450ff4 refer to nix.dev for installation instructions
there are currently multiple places with installation instructions that
all have to be updated when a change to any of them is accepted.

this reduces the number of places by one, and directs beginners to the
maintained and curated resource for Nix learning materials.
