50954ad1c5 nixos/make-options-doc: treat missing descriptions as errors by default
this partially solves the problem of "missing description" warnings of the
options doc build being lost by nix build, at the cost of failing builds that
previously ran. an option to disable this behaviour is provided.

1301bdb185 nixos/make-options-doc: turn relatedPackages into links
link to search.nixos.org instead of pulling package metadata out of pkgs. this
lets us cache docs of a few more modules and provides easier access to package
info from the HTML manual, but makes the manpage slightly less useful since
package description are no longer rendered.

fc614c37c6 nixos/documentation: split options doc build
most modules can be evaluated for their documentation in a very
restricted environment that doesn't include all of nixpkgs. this
evaluation can then be cached and reused for subsequent builds, merging
only documentation that has changed into the cached set. since nixos
ships with a large number of modules of which only a few are used in any
given config this can save evaluation a huge percentage of nixos
options available in any given config.

in tests of this caching, despite having to copy most of nixos/, saves
about 80% of the time needed to build the system manual, or about two
second on the machine used for testing. build time for a full system
config shrank from 9.4s to 7.4s, while turning documentation off
entirely shortened the build to 7.1s.

027f7e1b7f nixos/lib/make-options-doc: generate options.xml from options.json
to do this we must replace derivations with attrsets in make-options-doc, since
xml can represent derivations differently from attrset but json cannot. this
also given asciidoc and mddoc the ability to handle derivation differently,
which they previously didn't have.

9b97a2ea88 nix/lib/make-options-doc: remove nix-level sorting
there are no remaining users of sorted option lists except the docbook build,
which sorts its input separately.

4670400309 nixos/lib/make-options-doc: generate asciidoc/md in derivations
use the json file derivation we already have to also generate the asciidoc and
md options docs instead of formatting the options in nix. docbook docs are
already produced in derivations.

the new script produce the exact same output as the old in-nix generation.

24eb353907 make-options-docs: don't sort the options XML file
we need the file itself as a dependency for the docbook build, but we don't need
it to be properly sorted at the nix level. push the sort out to a python script
instead to save eval time. on the machine used to write this `nix-instantiate
<nixos/nixos> -A system` went down from 7.1s to 5.4s and GC heap size decreased
by 50MB (or 70MB max RSS).

nixos/manual: improve error message for invalid values in `relatedPackages'
As reported in NixOS discourse[1], tracking down invalid values in
`relatedPackages'[2] (i.e. list-items that don't exist in `pkgs`) is
fairly hard as the message "Invalid package attribute path `foobar'"
is quite unhelpful and the trace doesn't point to the source of the
problem either.

This patch improves the error message by mentioning that the issue is an
invalid `relatedPackages`-declaration in $optionName.

3c15d578d4 make-options-doc: fix string context issues
When using `documentation.nixos.includeAllModules = true;` with external
modules, the string context might contain dependencies to derivations
and so `toFile` refuses to evaluate;

```
error: in 'toFile': the file 'options.xml' cannot refer to derivation outputs, at
[...]/nixpkgs/nixos/lib/make-options-doc/default.nix:89:16
```

This is not an issue when using `writeText` (instead of manually
stripping the context).

Extract NixOS options documentation generation to a function
Motivation is to support other repositories containing nixos
modules that would like to generate options documentation:

- nix-darwin
- private repos
- arion
- ??
