John Ericson eb7d7780b1 Rename doc/manual{src -> source}

This is needed to avoid this
https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/13774 when we go back to
making our subproject directory `src`.

Name

nix-store --generate-binary-cache-key - generate key pair to use for a binary cache

Synopsis

nix-store --generate-binary-cache-key key-name secret-key-file public-key-file

This command generates an Ed25519 key pair that can be used to create a signed binary cache. It takes three mandatory parameters:

A key name, such as cache.example.org-1, that is used to look up keys on the client when it verifies signatures. It can be anything, but it’s suggested to use the host name of your cache (e.g. cache.example.org) with a suffix denoting the number of the key (to be incremented every time you need to revoke a key).
The file name where the secret key is to be stored.
The file name where the public key is to be stored.
