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.

0f45ce6e77 setup-hooks/strip.sh: add strip{All,Debug}ListTarget variables
This change mimics existing strip{All,Debug}List variables to
allow special stripping directories just for Target.

The primary use case in mind is gcc where package has to install
both host and target ELFs. They have to be stripped by their own
strip tools accordingly.

81bc106e08 meta.sourceProvenance documentation: clarify it is unaffected by changes to meta.license
This commit clarifies that the meaning of the `meta.sourceProvenance`
field is independent of and unaffected by the value of the
`meta.license` field.  This is based on the intent of the RFC author
as expressed here:

  https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/161098#issuecomment-1081270201

This clarification is added for two reasons:

1. If in the future there should be some disagreement about what
   `sourceProvenance` to assign to a package, this may help resolve
   the disagreement.  Any interpretation of `sourceProvenance` which
   is influenced by the `meta.license` is clearly an incorrect
   interpretation.

2. If it should turn out that it is impossible to disentangle
   `sourceProvenance` from `meta.license`, this would indicate the
   need for changes to the `sourceProvenance` scheme.  That change
   might be as simple as replacing the sentence added by this commit
   with some other sentence explaining how the two fields influence
   each other.

This commit implements the recommendation made in the paragraph of
this comments which begins with "Please say this explicitly...":

this is not an actual sync, but rather the manual taking the leading role.

we should figure out how to keep them aligned with minimal effort both
in terms of maintenance as well as navigation for readers.

c9d66a7fff cross-compilation.chapter.md: give examples of all depFooBar cases
This commit describes the "->" notation for dependency types in
greater detail, and uses g++ to provide examples of all six cases
(although the host->target and target->target examples are a bit
artificial).

It also adds three more rows to the table for the "->*" dependency
types for non-compiler-like packages; these dependency types were
already present in the documentation but the "*" was not really
explained.

Lastly, this commit adds a hyperlink to the table from the place where
it is mentioned in the "specifying dependencies" chapter.

b0b5ef7286 stdenv: introduce dontAddStaticConfigureFlags
With removeUnknownConfigureFlags, it's impossible to express a package
that needs --enable-static, but will not accept --disable-shared,
without overriding the result of removeUnknownConfigureFlags _again_
in pkgs/top-level/static.nix.

It would be much better (and more in line with the rest of Nixpkgs) if
we encoded changes needed for static builds in package definitions
themselves, rather than in an ever-expanding list in static.nix.  This
is especially true when doing it in static.nix is going to require
multiple overrides to express what could be expressed with stdenv
options.

So as a step in that direction, and to fix the problem described
above, here I replace removeUnknownConfigureFlags with a new stdenv
option, dontAddStaticConfigureFlags.  With this mechanism, a package
that needs one but not both of the flags just needs to set
dontAddStaticConfigureFlags and then set up configureFlags manually
based on stdenv.hostPlatform.isStatic.

We are still using Pandoc’s Markdown parser, which differs from CommonMark spec slightly.

- Admonitions do not support the simpler syntax https://github.com/jgm/commonmark-hs/issues/75
- The auto_identifiers uses a different algorithm – I made the previous ones explicit.
- Languages (classes) of code blocks cannot contain whitespace so we have to use “pycon” alias instead of Python “console” as GitHub’s linguist

While at it, I also fixed the following issues:
- ShellSesssion was used
- Removed some pointless docbook tags.

It was briefly mentioned in stdenv docs but since it interacts with wrapGAppsHook, it should be documented here.

Recover the complicated situation after my bad merge
I made a mistake merge.  Reverting it in c778945806 undid the state
on master, but now I realize it crippled the git merge mechanism.
As the merge contained a mix of commits from `master..staging-next`
and other commits from `staging-next..staging`, it got the
`staging-next` branch into a state that was difficult to recover.

I reconstructed the "desired" state of staging-next tree by:
 - checking out the last commit of the problematic range: 4effe769e2
 - `git rebase -i --preserve-merges a8a018ddc0` - dropping the mistaken
   merge commit and its revert from that range (while keeping
   reapplication from 4effe769e2)
 - merging the last unaffected staging-next commit (803ca85c20)
 - fortunately no other commits have been pushed to staging-next yet
 - applying a diff on staging-next to get it into that state

Revert "Merge #101508: libraw: 0.20.0 -> 0.20.2"
I'm sorry; I didn't notice it contained staging commits.

This reverts commit 17f5305b6c, reversing
changes made to a8a018ddc0.

7e1e8543fc installShellFiles: Enhance installShellCompletion
Teach installShellCompletion how to install completions from a named
pipe. Also add a convenience flag `--cmd NAME` that synthesizes the name
for each completion instead of requiring repeated `--name` flags.

Usage looks something like

    installShellCompletion --cmd foobar \
      --bash <($out/bin/foobar --bash-completion) \
      --fish <($out/bin/foobar --fish-completion) \
      --zsh <($out/bin/foobar --zsh-completion)

Fixes #83284

hooks: add moveSystemdUserUnitsHook
This hook moves systemd user service file from `lib/systemd/user` to
`share/systemd/user`. This is to allow systemd to find the user
services when installed into a user profile. The `lib/systemd/user`
path does not work since `lib` is not in `XDG_DATA_DIRS`.

doc: Undocument attr-set of passthru.updateScript
We no longer need it for most use cases so I am making it experimental.

I have something in mind where it might be useful in the future (customizing commit messages)
but for now, it would only confuse people.

maintainers/scripts/update.nix: support auto-committing by passing attrPath
Instead of having the updateScript support returning JSON object,
it should be sufficient to specify attrPath in passthru.updateScript.
It is much easier to use.

The former is now considered experimental.

maintainers/scripts/update.nix: Add support for auto-commiting changes
Update scripts can now declare features using

	passthru.updateScript = {
	  command = [ ../../update.sh pname ];
	  supportedFeatures = [ "commit" ];
	};

A `commit` feature means that when the update script finishes successfully,
it will print a JSON list like the following:

	[
	  {
	    "attrPath": "volume_key",
	    "oldVersion": "0.3.11",
	    "newVersion": "0.3.12",
	    "files": [
	      "/path/to/nixpkgs/pkgs/development/libraries/volume-key/default.nix"
	    ]
	  }
	]

and data from that will be used when update.nix is run with --argstr commit true
to create commits.

We will create a new git worktree for each thread in the pool and run the update
script there. Then we will commit the change and cherry pick it in the main repo,
releasing the worktree for a next change.

13083b1a01 validatePkgConfig: init
This adds the `validatePkgConfig` hook, which can be used to validate
pkg-config files in the output(s). Currently, this will just run
`pkg-config --validate` on all `.pc` files, capturing errors such as
the issue that was fixed in #87789.

The hook could be extended in the future with more fine-grained
checks.
