This commit adds documentation for it.

19d48a9257 doc/stdenv/meta.chapter.md: explain difference between broken and badPlatforms
There has been a longstanding ambiguity between `broken` and
`badPlatforms`, which seem to serve overlapping purposes.

This commit adds to the documentation two examples of constraints
which cannot be expressed by `platforms` and `badPlatforms`.

This commit also mentions `NIXPKGS_ALLOW_BROKEN=1` for overriding
`broken`.

052bb41410 doc: assign ids to many headings
without stable ids on headings we cannot generate stable links to these
headings. nrd complains about this, but the current docbook workflow
does not.

a few generated ids remain, mostly in examples and footnotes. most of
the examples are generated by nixdoc (which has since gained MD export
functions, and the MD export does generate IDs).

01d7f19346 multi-outputs.sh: Improve _assignFirst error message
Closes #16182

This improves the error message

    Error: _assignFirst found no valid variant!

which occurred when the set of outputs was not sufficient to set
the various outputDev, outputBin, etc variables. Specifically, this
would mean that "out" is not among the outputs, which is valid for
a derivation.

This changes the message to something like

    error: _assignFirst: could not find a non-empty variable to assign to outputDev. The following variables were all unset or empty: dev out.
          If you did not define an "out" output, make sure to define all the specific required outputs: define an output for one of the unset variables.

While this isn't a full explanation of what stdenv can and can not do,
I think it's vast improvement over the 0 bits of information that it
used to provide. This at least gives a clue as to what's going on, and
even suggests a fix, although probably multiple such fixes are required
in an instance where someone starts with a no-out derivation from scratch
(and decide to persist).

doc: use sri hash syntax
The nixpkgs manual contains references to both sri hash and explicit
sha256 attributes. This is at best confusing to new users. Since the
final destination is exclusive use of sri hashes, see nixos/rfcs#131,
might as well push new users in that direction gently.

Notable exceptions to sri hash support are builtins.fetchTarball,
cataclysm-dda, coq, dockerTools.pullimage, elixir.override, and
fetchCrate. None, other than builtins.fetchTarball, are fundamentally
incompatible, but all currently accept explicit sha256 attributes as
input. Because adding backwards compatibility is out of scope for this
change, they have been left intact, but migration to sri format has been
made for any using old hash formats.

All hashes have been manually tested to be accurate, and updates were
only made for missing upstream artefacts or bugs.

manual: update meta-attributes section
Promote the `maintainers = with maintainers; [ ]` syntax as that is most common
in nixpkgs, and remove the `nix-env` example which doesn't work like that anymore.

66aa02f190 lib/systems: Support FreeBSD
A tricky thing about FreeBSD is that there is no stable ABI across
versions. That means that putting in the version as part of the config
string is paramount.

We have a parsed represenation that separates name versus version to
accomplish this. We include FreeBSD versions 12 and 13 to demonstrate
how it works.
