33fa5f3cd9 doc/manual/local.mk: fix 'make install DESTDIR=...'
Install failure is observed when we try to install
into inplace location as non-root:

```
$ LANG=C make install DESTDIR=$PWD/__i__ V=1
RUST_LOG=warn mdbook build doc/manual -d /usr/share/doc/nix/manual
2021-08-28 13:29:58 [ERROR] (mdbook::utils): Error: Rendering failed
2021-08-28 13:29:58 [ERROR] (mdbook::utils):    Caused By: Unexpected error when constructing destination path
2021-08-28 13:29:58 [ERROR] (mdbook::utils):    Caused By: Permission denied (os error 13)
make: *** [doc/manual/local.mk:98: /usr/share/doc/nix/manual/index.html] Error 101
```

The change is to prefix paths with `$(DESTDIR)`.

cd6e9eb024 Fix the generation of nix3 manpages
- Separate the generation of the manpages from their installation
- Make sure that `make` generates the manpages
- Make sure that `make install` installs them

c5f5d615a6 Cleanup the generation of the nix3 manpages
Use a dedicated make target for the man page rather than bundling the
generation as part of `install`.
Also make sure that `make install` is a fixpoint by

- Removing the generated markdown files from `MANUAL_SRCS`
- Not having the manpage generation write in its source directory so as
  to not update its timestamp (it would run each time otherwise)

f35f9af787 Improve explanation of NIX_PATH prefix syntax
The previous wording seemed to imply that the "channel:" syntax would resolve to
a github archive URL, which is not the case.

doc: builtins: use a definition list
This looks a lot better (and is also more semantically meaningful).

Since this list is generated in a Nix expression, I don't think using
HTML here is going to be the thing that puts people off modifying this
part of the documentation!

31313d1401 Replace the trailing markdown spaces by a backslash
They are equivalent according to
<https://spec.commonmark.org/0.29/#hard-line-breaks>,
and the trailing spaces tend to be a pain (because the make git
complain, editors tend to want to remove them − the `.editorconfig`
actually specifies that − etc..).

distributed builds: load remote builder host key from the machines file
This is already used by Hydra, and is very useful when materializing
a remote builder list from service discovery. This allows the service
discovery tool to only sync one file instead of two.

Respect command registrations in plugins. 2021-02-24 08:25:45 -05:00

Initialize plugins after handling initial command line flags
This is technically a breaking change, since attempting to set plugin
files after the first non-flag argument will now throw an error. This
is acceptable given the relative lack of stability in a plugin
interface and the need to tie the knot somewhere once plugins can
actually define new subcommands.

Fix Haskell example
http://nixos.org redirects to https://nixos.org and apparently the HTTP library doesn't follow the redirect, so the output is empty.
When defining https in the request it crashes because the library doesn't seem to support https.
So this switches the example to a different http library.
