* doc/default.nix: make the manual build on more than one core
Let's build the manual with more than one core. Maybe people will take better care of it now that it is less painful to build.
* doc/stdenv/meta.chapter.md: document meta.badPlatforms
We don't have any documentation for the `meta.badPlatforms` attribute.
This commit adds documentation for it.
* buildGoModule: don't inherit postBuild hook when building go-modules
This is a slight revert of 5ce647b8bf
(#212800).
Inheriting these hooks in the `.go-modules` derivation can be confusing:
One doesn't expect them to run when generating the fixed output modules
derivation, but only on the main derivation. A `postBuild` hook that
adds some files to $out will cause a very hard to debug issue[1].
This commit adds support for a dedicated `modPostBuild` hook that will
be used only by the derivation building `.go-modules`. Additionally,
`go.section.md` now explains these attributes behavior better.

* update.py: introduce subparsers for plugin updaters
This is preliminary work to help create more powerful plugin updaters.
Namely I would like to be able to "just add" plugins without refreshing
the older ones (helpful when github temporarily removes a user from
github due to automated bot detection).
Also concerning the lua updater, we pin some of the dependencies, and I
would like to be able to unpin the package without editing the csv
(coming in later PRs).
* doc/updaters: update command to update editor plugins
including vim, kakoune and lua packages

Instead of revisions as they should. This is (most-likely) caused by a
simple typo, because Hydra is where the revision should come from, but
it doesn't set `.revision` as the attribute, but rather `.rev`!
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`.
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).
This allows packages that require several dotnet versions to build (like
BeatSaberModManager) to properly depend on the dotnet-sdk specific deps.
This in turns avoids having to regenerate the deps of those packages
after each dotnet-sdk update.
This also changes nuget-to-nix to accept a file with a list of
exclusions instead of a folder.
The headings for the Rust section are structured incorrectly in two ways:
1. The section "Compiling non-Rust packages that include Rust code" is totally specific to `buildRustPackage`. It should be a child of the "Compiling Rust applications with Cargo" section.
1. The section "Setting up `nix-shell`" is totally specific to `buildRustCrate`. It should be a child of the "Compiling Rust crates using Nix instead of Cargo" section.

The previous approach of trying to make both the `override` mechanism from
`mkDerivation` and the `overrideScope'` mechanism from `newScope` work together
resulted in hard to understand code, and there was a bug where once overridden
packages would lose the changes on next override with `packageOverrides`.
It's not ideal still, because Lisps created by `mkDerivation` will lose their
`pkgs` after using `override`.
The previous approach of manually repeating a complex pattern inside Common Lisp
implementation package declarations was fragile and hard to change. After
reading python and lua modules code in Nixpkgs, I was able to come up with
something better.
The function `wrapLisp` doesn't need to be inside package declarations so all
the code for wrapping Lisps can be in `all-packages.nix`.
This works by wrapping the `override` function created from `mkDerivation` to
accept a new argument `packageOverrides`.
One problem with this is that `override.__functionArgs` disappears. But one can
look at the source code of a package to discover what can be overridden.
It won't be enough to fix cross in all cases, but it is in at least
one: pywayland. I've only made the change in cases I'm confident it's
correct, as it would be wrong to change this when python.interpreter
is used in wrappers, and possibly when it's used for running tests.
these files provided mainly or exclusively xml-related tooling and
support for editing the manual. since docbook is now an implementation
detail (except for still being allowed in option docs, for now) these
tools are no longer necessary, useful, or even functional.
xmlformat.conf is still used by the nixpkgs documentation, so we have to
keep it. there's no reason it can't go live with the nixpkgs docs though.
