b387d80943 remove sentence for chapter transition 
idea: sections could be read in different orders by linking them in
different ways (e.g. depth-first or breadth-first). adding hard-coded
transitions makes that confusing.

trying to capture alternative terms in one go here, mirroring everyday
use:

derivation - build plan

0737094161 Add draft "Rosetta stone" by @fricklerhandwerk and stub commentary 
The idea and most of the execution are @fricklerhandwerk's. I changed a
few things best I could based on @edolstra's corrections, and a Bazel
glossary.

523359d133 WIP: Document the design of Nix 
The current docs are all "how to do things" and no "what is Nix" or "why
are things the way they are".

I see lots of misconception on the wider internet, and I also think we
would benefit from a "living document" to answer some questions people
currently turn to the thesis for.

I think a new section of the manual can address all these issues.

499ed26508 manual: remove "Writing Nix Expressions" chapter 
it is out of date, all over the place in level of detail, is really
about `nixpkgs`, and in general instructions should not be part of
a reference manual.

also:
- update redirects and internal links
- use "Nix language" consistently

d1cda07ce4 Don't use -load_all on darwin 
That flag breaks `-lc++fs` (introducing a duplicate symbol for some
reason). Besides, it was apparently needed for bzip2, but we're not using bzip2
anymore.

1ba5b3e001 Make moveFile more atomic 
Rather than directly copying the source to its dest, copy it first to a
temporary location, and eventually move that temporary.
That way, the move is at least atomic from the point-of-view of the destination

90f9680733 Only use renameFile where needed 
In most places the fallback to copying isn’t needed and can actually be
bad, so we’d rather not transparently fallback

c5db1821a9 Re-implement the recursive directory copy 
The recursive copy from the stl doesn’t exactly do what we need because
1. It doesn’t delete things as we go
2. It doesn’t keep the mtime, which change the nars

So re-implement it ourselves. A bit dull, but that way we have what we want

6f89fb6008 rename: Fallback to a copy if the filesystems mismatch 
In `nix::rename`, if the call to `rename` fails with `EXDEV` (failure
because the source and the destination are in a different filesystems)
switch to copying and removing the source.

To avoid having to re-implement the copy manually, I switched the
function to use the c++17 `filesystem` library (which has a `copy`
function that should do what we want).

Fix #6262
