docs: fix python nix-shell example (#10841)
* docs: fix python nix-shell example

This Python code snippet depended on Python 2 which has been marked as insecure in 24.05.

I modernized the example so new users will not be surprised upon copying and pasting the snippet for exploration.

18ac6545fc print type and value in "flake attr is not a derivation" errors
This turns errors like:

error: flake output attribute 'hydraJobs' is not a derivation or path

into errors like:

error: expected flake output attribute 'hydraJobs' to be a derivation or
path but found a set: { binaryTarball = «thunk»; build = «thunk»; etc> }

This change affects all InstallableFlake commands.

19720d733f nix3-build: show all FOD errors with --keep-going
Basically I'd expect the same behavior as with `nix-build`, i.e.
with `--keep-going` the hash-mismatch error of each failing
fixed-output derivation is shown.

The approach is derived from `Store::buildPaths` (`entry-point.cc`):
instead of throwing the first build-result, check if there are any build
errors and if so, display all of them and throw after that.

Unfortunately, the BuildResult struct doesn't have an `ErrorInfo`
(there's a FIXME for that at least), so I have to construct my own here.
This is a rather cheap bugfix and I decided against touching too many
parts of libstore for that (also I don't know if that's in line with the
ongoing refactoring work).

Closes https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/issues/302

Document file system object content addressing

d50ce2df14 make a more relevant example for nix-store --export
given `nix-copy-closure` exists, it doesn't make much sense to do

    nix-store --export $paths | nix-store --import --store ssh://foo@bar

since that dumps everything rather than granularly transferring store
objects as needed.

therefore, pick an example where dumping the entire closure into a file
actually makes a difference, such as when deploying to airgapped systems.

043135a848 Document file system object content addressing
In addition:

- Take the opportunity to add a bunch more missing hyperlinks, too.

- Remove some glossary entries that are now subsumed by dedicated pages.
  We used to not be able to do this without breaking link fragments, but
  now we can, so pick up where we left off.

7c7aa79ebe redirect "Copying Closures via SSH" guide to nix-copy-closure
the individual commands' documentation should provide enough examples to
make sense of the options and judge what to use and when. proper guides,
which would require a more elaborate setup to show off Nix's
capabilities are out of scope for the reference manual.
