Commit d536c57e87 inadvertedly broke build and
installation of all non-autogenerated manual pages (in particular, all the ones
documenting the stable CLI), by moving the definition of the man-pages variable
in doc/manual/local.mk after its usage in mk/lib.mk. Move including the former
earlier so that the correct order is restored.
This is not the most elegant, but will match the SOs in exporting
everything for now. Later we can refine what is public/private to clean
up the interface.
`installcheck` doesn't yet work, but the rest of the build can now
happen mostly inside a separate build directory.
Progress on #9342

The basic idea here is to separate a few intertwined notions:
1. Not all "run bash tests" are "install tests"
2. Not all "run bash tests" use `tests/functional/init.sh`, or any
pre-test initialization at all.
This will used in the next commit when we have a test that check unit
test golden master data.
Also, move our custom `PS4` from the test to the test runner, as it is
part of how we want to display the tests, not the test themselves.

Grouping our tests should make it easier to understand the intent than
one long poorly-arranged list. It also is convenient for running just
the tests for a specific component when working on that component.
We need at least one test group so this isn't dead code; I decided to
collect the tests for the `ca-derivations` and `dynamic-derivations`
experimental features in groups. Do
```bash
make ca.test-group -jN
```
and
```bash
make dyn-drv.test-group -jN
```
to try running just them.
I originally did this as part of #8397 for being able to just the local
overlay store alone. I am PRing it separately now so we can separate
general infra from new features.

Previously, the build system used uname(1) output when it wanted to
check the operating system it was being built for, which meant that it
didn't take into-account cross-compilation when the build and host
operating systems were different.
To fix this, instead of consulting uname output, we consult the host
triple, specifically the third "kernel" part.
For "kernel"s with stable ABIs, like Linux or Cygwin, we can use a
simple ifeq to test whether we're compiling for that system, but for
other platforms, like Darwin, FreeBSD, or Solaris, we have to use a
more complicated check to take into account the version numbers at the
end of the "kernel"s. I couldn't find a way to just strip these
version numbers in GNU Make without shelling out, which would be even
more ugly IMO. Because these checks differ between kernels, and the
patsubst ones are quite fiddly, I've added variables for each host OS
we might want to check to make them easier to reuse.
