streamline macOS uninstall instructions (#10589)
* move single-user uninstall to the end

this is not the default method of installation, and therefore irrelevant
for most users.

* move the backup restore instructions to the first step

for most users we can expect that the system-wide shell init files were
not ever touched, so we can as well tell them to do the most likely
thing.

from experience, while it's not necessarily safe to just mess with these
files, most people are simply confused by the complexity of
instructions.

* provide more detailed instructions for using `sudo vifs`

we can expect most beginners not to ever have used `vi`, and they will
probably need some hand-holding.

* express instructions as a script

5b36ee4c95 Add pre-commit hook and make format target
I've added the new local.mk to the package sources. While this
should not be needed for the build, it is the simplest solution,
and won't cause many extra rebuilds, because the file won't change
very often.

93d68e18e5 Make outputHashAlgo accept "nar", stay in sync
Now that we have a few things identifying content address methods by
name, we should be consistent about it.

Move up the `parseHashAlgoOpt` for tidiness too.

Discussed this change for consistency's sake as part of #8876

doc/rl-2.20: add missing entry about nix copy --to ssh-ng://...
This requires `--substitute-on-destination` if you want the remote side
to substitute instead of copying if possible.

For completeness sake, document it here.

Also, the stable Nix from nixpkgs is still 2.18, so more folks may
stumble upon this when this is bumped, so I'd expect this to be actually
useful.

Closes #10182

cc29d85d06 Doc: explicitly specify which shell to use to get clangd
I was using by mistake the .#nix-clangStdenv shell to retrieve clangd.
This clangd is unusable with the project and constantly segfaults.
Let's explicitly state which shell the user should use in the docs.

I don't really understand the source of this segfault. I assume it's
related to a clang version incompatibility. (16.0.6 for
.#nix-clangStdenv 14.0.6 for .#native-clangStdenvPackages)

c13a31f639 Update the release cycle
- Align the “frequent” release cycle with the calendar
  - The 6-month release cycle is hard to keep track of. A monthly
    release will make it much easier to remember the release date.
- Officialise the support for a stable version maintained for as long as NixOS stable
  - This is already the case in practice, it just happens that the
    “stable” Nixpkgs version is whichever version was deemed
    stable-enough at the time of the NixOS release.
    Officialise that by cutting a new major release alongside each NixOS one.

Note that this breaks whatever semver compatibility Nix might pretend to
have, but I don't think it makes sense any way.

1edd6fada5 report inherit attr errors at the duplicate name
previously we reported the error at the beginning of the binding
block (for plain inherits) or the beginning of the attr list (for
inherit-from), effectively hiding where exactly the error happened.

this also carries over to runtime positions of attributes in sets as
reported by unsafeGetAttrPos. we're not worried about this changing
observable eval behavior because it *is* marked unsafe, and the new
behavior is much more useful.

4147ecfb1c normalize formal order on ExprLambda::show
we already normalize attr order to lexicographic, doing the same for
formals makes sense. doubly so because the order of formals would
otherwise depend on the context of the expression, which is not quite as
useful as one might expect.
