d041641b1a nixos/manual: remove md-to-db
with manual chapters no longer needing pandoc for their conversion to
xml we can get rid of this source of confusion, and its huge cache of
xml files.

nixos/manpages: Explain -I option and how to build manpages
When running nixos-rebuild -I, the man page just said "-I path" which could be interpreted as
 "just a path to nixpkgs", which in fact it actually has the same meaning as NIX_PATH.

This is now made clear in the manual, so that when grepping "-I" and "NIX_PATH" one quickly finds
 the format of the option.

I don't know how to link to the "nix manual" as stated in the docbook, so I left that as it is.

Additionally, it wasn't clear to me how to actually build the man pages and view the changes I made.
That's now in the contributing-to-this-manual.chapter.md.
