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

## Store Object
A Nix store is a collection of *store objects* with *references* between them.
A store object consists of
- A [file system object](./file-system-object.md) as data
- A set of [store paths](./store-path.md) as references to other store objects
Store objects are [immutable](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immutable_object):
Once created, they do not change until they are deleted.
