nixos/man-db: allow man-cache to be fetched from cache
Currently, we build `man-cache` with `runCommandLocal`, which causes it
to get re-built locally instead of fetched from cache. While the
resulting derivation might be small, it does take a fair bit of time to
build for all my systems, and would be _far_ quicker to fetch.

With this change, we use `runCommand` instead of `runCommandLocal`,
allowing it to get fetched from cache instead of rebuilt for all hosts.

ef176dcf7e nixos/*: automatically convert option descriptions
conversions were done using https://github.com/pennae/nix-doc-munge
using (probably) rev f34e145 running

    nix-doc-munge nixos/**/*.nix
    nix-doc-munge --import nixos/**/*.nix

the tool ensures that only changes that could affect the generated
manual *but don't* are committed, other changes require manual review
and are discarded.

6a3d020b90 nixos/documentation: move man-db-specifics into new man-db module
It may be possible to revert the move of `documentation.man.manualPages`
later. The problem is that other man implementations (mandoc) want to
generate their index databases in place, so the approach taken here
doesn't translate super well.
