Moves the nix script to setup the build environment from Documentation
into the Toolchain as a callable script. I also modified the script
to accept a "pkgs" argument to make it easy to override the nixpkgs
version from the command-line when calling the script.
This document is meant to cover every significant step in the journey
from giving a page URL to LibWeb, and pixels showing up on screen.
It's by no means complete, but I wrote a fair chunk already, so I'll
commit at this stage and we can expand on it in-tree.
This should prevent a build issue caused by a potential
conflicting zstd installation on M1 Mac.
This was manifested in a linker error when building
the GNU toolchain:
```
Undefined symbols for architecture arm64:
[gcc/build] "_ZSTD_compress", referenced from:
```
This commit adds support for building the SerenityOS userland with the
new [mold linker].
This is not enabled by default yet; to link using mold, run the
`Toolchain/BuildMold.sh` script to build the latest release of mold, and
set the `ENABLE_MOLD_LINKER` CMake variable to ON. This option relies on
toolchain support that has been added just recently, so you might need
to rebuild your toolchain for mold to work.

It's not at all obvious how we need three different array-like types.
This change to the Patterns documentation attempts to explain why they
exist, how they differ (mostly in allocation behavior) and what their
use cases are. This builds on #11844 which fixates and tests the
hereby-described allocation behavior of FixedArray.
Some archive tools can open ext2 images like an archive, which is very
convenient for people that already have such tools like 7zip.
This also contains information for WSL users on where to find the
_disk_image in Explorer.
Remove note about CMake Tools as version 1.9.0 has shipped and no longer
needed. Update details for files to latest versions and allow easier
copy and paste into an empty file.
We used to build with -Os in order to fit within a certain size, but
there isn't really a good reason for that kind of restriction.
Switching to -O2 yields a significant improvement in throughput,
for example `test-js` is roughly 20% faster on my machine. :^)
As of qemu 6.0.0, it should already have the entitlement to access the
Hypervior.framework by default, so re-codesigning the binary is
no-longer necessary.

I intentionally don't document the format specifics, to prevent this
file from becoming outdated. Hence, only a list with pointers to where
to find details.
