bfb6ef1d59 module system: prettify a bit error when unique option defined twice
The error can be reproduced like:
```
$ nix-instantiate ./nixos -A system --arg configuration '
  { fileSystems."/".device = "nodev";
    boot.loader.grub.devices = [ "nodev" ];
    containers.t.config.imports = [ <nixpkgs/nixos/modules/virtualisation/amazon-image.nix> ];
  }'
```

Previously error was:
```
error: The unique option `containers.t.networking.hostName' is defined multiple times, in `/nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/root/channels/nixpkgs/nixos/modules/virtualisation/amazon-image.nix' and `module at /home/danbst/dev/nixpkgs/nixos/modules/virtualisation/containers.nix:470'.
(use '--show-trace' to show detailed location information)
```

Now it is:
```
error: The unique option `containers.t.networking.hostName' is defined multiple times, in:
 - /nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/root/channels/nixpkgs/nixos/modules/virtualisation/amazon-image.nix
 - module at /home/danbst/dev/nixpkgs/nixos/modules/virtualisation/containers.nix:470.
(use '--show-trace' to show detailed location information)
```

module system: revert "remove types.optionSet", just deprecate (#56857)
The explicit remove helped to uncover some hidden uses of `optionSet`
in NixOps. However it makes life harder for end-users of NixOps - it will
be impossible to deploy 19.03 systems with old NixOps, but there is no
new release of NixOps with `optionSet` fixes.

Also, "deprecation" process isn't well defined. Even that `optionSet` was
declared "deprecated" for many years, it was never announced. Hence, I
leave "deprecation" announce. Then, 3 releases after announce,
we can announce removal of this feature.

This type has to be removed, not `throw`-ed in runtime, because it makes
some perfectly fine code to fail. For example:
```
$ nix-instantiate --eval -E '(import <nixpkgs/lib>).types' --strict
trace: `types.list` is deprecated; use `types.listOf` instead
error: types.optionSet is deprecated; use types.submodule instead
(use '--show-trace' to show detailed location information)
```

2384966880 lib/options: Update documentation comments for docs generation
Documents functions in `lib.options` for docs generation with nixdoc.

The formatting change in the `mkOption` arguments is due to the way
`nixdoc` parses documentation comments on pattern arguments. It's not
ideal, but it works.

lib/options: teach showOptions about funny option names
Handle the case where options have funny symbols inside of them.

Example:

If I reference the following attribute without it being defined:

  security.acme.certs."example.com".webroot

I now get the error:

    The option `security.acme.certs."example.com".webroot' is used but
    not defined.

where before I got:

    The option `security.acme.certs.example.com.webroot' is used but
    not defined.

which is not true.

660806066a nixos, lib: implement relatedPackages option
This allows one to specify "related packages" in NixOS that get rendered into
the configuration.nix(5) man page. The interface philosophy is pretty much
stolen from TeX bibliography.

See the next several commits for examples.

Convert libs to a fixed-point
This does break the API of being able to import any lib file and get
its libs, however I'm not sure people did this.

I made this while exploring being able to swap out docFn with a stub
in #2305, to avoid functor performance problems. I don't know if that
is going to move forward (or if it is a problem or not,) but after
doing all this work figured I'd put it up anyway :)

Two notable advantages to this approach:

1. when a lib inherits another lib's functions, it doesn't
   automatically get put in to the scope of lib
2. when a lib implements a new obscure functions, it doesn't
   automatically get put in to the scope of lib

Using the test script (later in this commit) I got the following diff
on the API:

  + diff master fixed-lib
  11764a11765,11766
  > .types.defaultFunctor
  > .types.defaultTypeMerge
  11774a11777,11778
  > .types.isOptionType
  > .types.isType
  11781a11786
  > .types.mkOptionType
  11788a11794
  > .types.setType
  11795a11802
  > .types.types

This means that this commit _adds_ to the API, however I can't find a
way to fix these last remaining discrepancies. At least none are
_removed_.

Test script (run with nix-repl in the PATH):

  #!/bin/sh

  set -eux

  repl() {
      suff=${1:-}
      echo "(import ./lib)$suff" \
          | nix-repl 2>&1
  }

  attrs_to_check() {
      repl "${1:-}" \
          | tr ';'  $'\n' \
          | grep "\.\.\." \
          | cut -d' ' -f2 \
          | sed -e "s/^/${1:-}./" \
          | sort
  }

  summ() {
      repl "${1:-}" \
          | tr ' ' $'\n' \
          | sort \
          | uniq
  }

  deep_summ() {
      suff="${1:-}"
      depth="${2:-4}"
      depth=$((depth - 1))
      summ "$suff"

      for attr in $(attrs_to_check "$suff" | grep -v "types.types"); do
          if [ $depth -eq 0 ]; then
              summ "$attr" | sed -e "s/^/$attr./"
          else
              deep_summ "$attr" "$depth" | sed -e "s/^/$attr./"
          fi
      done
  }

  (
      cd nixpkgs

      #git add .
      #git commit -m "Auto-commit, sorry" || true
      git checkout fixed-lib
      deep_summ > ../fixed-lib
      git checkout master
      deep_summ > ../master
  )

  if diff master fixed-lib; then
      echo "SHALLOW MATCH!"
  fi

  (
      cd nixpkgs
      git checkout fixed-lib
      repl .types
  )

800f9c2037 Show correct position info for errors in submodules
E.g.

  The unique option `fileSystems./.device' is defined multiple times, in `/etc/nixos/configuration.nix' and `/etc/nixos/foo.nix'.

This requires passing file/value tuples to the merge functions.

73f32d0375 Show precise error messages in option merge failures
For instance, if time.timeZone is defined multiple times, you now get
the error message:

  error: user-thrown exception: The unique option `time.timeZone' is defined multiple times, in `/etc/nixos/configurations/misc/eelco/x11vnc.nix' and `/etc/nixos/configuration.nix'.

while previously you got:

  error: user-thrown exception: Multiple definitions of string. Only one is allowed for this option.

and only an inspection of the stack trace gave a clue as to what
option caused the problem.

0e333688ce Big cleanup of the NixOS module system
The major changes are:

* The evaluation is now driven by the declared options.  In
  particular, this fixes the long-standing problem with lack of
  laziness of disabled option definitions.  Thus, a configuration like

    config = mkIf false {
      environment.systemPackages = throw "bla";
    };

  will now evaluate without throwing an error.  This also improves
  performance since we're not evaluating unused option definitions.

* The implementation of properties is greatly simplified.

* There is a new type constructor "submodule" that replaces
  "optionSet".  Unlike "optionSet", "submodule" gets its option
  declarations as an argument, making it more like "listOf" and other
  type constructors.  A typical use is:

    foo = mkOption {
      type = type.attrsOf (type.submodule (
        { config, ... }:
        { bar = mkOption { ... };
          xyzzy = mkOption { ... };
        }));
    };

  Existing uses of "optionSet" are automatically mapped to
  "submodule".

* Modules are now checked for unsupported attributes: you get an error
  if a module contains an attribute other than "config", "options" or
  "imports".

* The new implementation is faster and uses much less memory.
