up to now, those were managed outside of this repo, which as
unsurprisingly a real hassle to deal with if one wanted to prevent URLs
from breaking when moving pages around. this change removes a large part
of the friction involved in moving content in the Nix manual.
possible next steps for further automation:
- check for content that moved and warn if it's not reachable from
links that were valid prior to a change
- create redirect rules automatically based on this information

https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/269064 makes rapidcheck be build
as a shared lib, but that broke Nix because the `-lrapidcheck` was
missing. This fixes that (and doesn't break Nix what the library is a
static archive as today).
(cherry picked from commit 46131567da)
This has been the behaviour before Nix 2.4. It was dropped in a rewrite
in 759947bf72, allowing the creation of
store paths that aren't considered valid by older Nix versions or other
Nix tooling.
Nix 2.4 didn't ship in NixOS until 22.05, and stdenv.mkDerivation in
nixpkgs drops leading periods since April 2022, so it's unlikely anyone
is relying on the current lax behaviour.
Closes#9091.

As string sizes are usigned types `(a - b) > 0` effectively means
`a != b`. While the intention should be `a > b`.
The change fixes test suite pass.

Will need to do subclass-specific implementations in the next commit.
This isn't because there will be multiple variations of the daemon
protocol (whew!) but because different clients pick and choose different
parts to use.
This makes it more useful. In general, the derivation will be in one
store, and the realisation info is in another.
This also helps us avoid duplication. See how `resolveDerivedPath` is
now simpler because it uses `queryPartialDerivationOutputMap`. In #8369
we get more flavors of derived path, and need more code to resolve them
all, and this problem only gets worse.
The fact that we need a new method to deal with the multiple dispatch is
unfortunate, but this generally relates to the fact that `Store` is a
sub-par interface, too bulky/unwieldy and conflating separate concerns.
Solving that is out of scope of this PR.
This is part of the RFC 92 work. See tracking issue #6316
the original change broke many pre-existing anchor links.
also change formatting of the constants listing slightly:
- the type should not be part of the anchor
- add highlight to the "impure only" note
* clarify wording on args@ default handling
Most importantly use shorter sentences and emphasize the key point that defaults aren't taken into account
