This patch moves the code snippet which is shown as equivalent to the
example into the actual example block.
Visually, it was not easy to parse that the "equivalent" code piece
belonged to the code snippet that was hidden in the example (which is
collapsed by default).
By moving it into the example block, the "equivalent" piece is hidden by
default as well.

* doc: add stdenv passthru chapter
Broad strokes:
- create the chapter
- move existing stdenv passthru coverage into it
- move out-of-place coverage of passthru.tests from the stdenv meta chapter into it
- (try to) apply 1-sentence-per-line to text I've touched
- add legacy anchors for everything moved
- update existing links to the new anchors
- add tentative motivating text
- make nixpkgs-internal links relative/branchless
razor: if it is only ever needed by contributors, which is likely if links
refer to the latest revision of the source code, then it's for
the contributor guide

* doc: improve fetchers overview, deduplicate readme content
* Improve caveat explanation and some fetchurl content
* move out consumer docs on source fetching
* move note on mirror URLs to the relevant section
this may be better suited for the `fetchurl` reference, but it's probably better to
just render that information into the manual. for now, because
- contributor documentation encourages mirrors
- we can expect contributors to dig into the source
- linking source files is trivial in in-code documentation
we leave it there.
* move instructions for updating hashes to the manual
* Add more clarity on text, reorganise source hash methods

`snapTools.makeSnap` has produced broken snaps since at least Oct 2020,
as indicated by the following issue: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/100618
No person has shown interest in maintaining it, and given that there is
no fix available, it's assumed that all attempts made to fix that
function have not succeeded.
Given that `snapTools` only contained `makeSnap`, it was removed
completely.
