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`.

Release 2.14 (2023-02-28)

A new function builtins.readFileType is available. It is similar to builtins.readDir but acts on a single file or directory.
In flakes, the .outPath attribute of a flake now always refers to the directory containing the flake.nix. This was not the case for when flake.nix was in a subdirectory of e.g. a Git repository. The root of the source of a flake in a subdirectory is still available in .sourceInfo.outPath.
In derivations that use structured attributes, you can now use unsafeDiscardReferences to disable scanning a given output for runtime dependencies:
```
__structuredAttrs = true;
unsafeDiscardReferences.out = true;
```
This is useful e.g. when generating self-contained filesystem images with their own embedded Nix store: hashes found inside such an image refer to the embedded store and not to the host's Nix store.

This requires the discard-references experimental feature.
