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.

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)

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.

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.

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.
