ef176dcf7e nixos/*: automatically convert option descriptions
conversions were done using https://github.com/pennae/nix-doc-munge
using (probably) rev f34e145 running

    nix-doc-munge nixos/**/*.nix
    nix-doc-munge --import nixos/**/*.nix

the tool ensures that only changes that could affect the generated
manual *but don't* are committed, other changes require manual review
and are discarded.

2e751c0772 treewide: automatically md-convert option descriptions
the conversion procedure is simple:

 - find all things that look like options, ie calls to either `mkOption`
   or `lib.mkOption` that take an attrset. remember the attrset as the
   option
 - for all options, find a `description` attribute who's value is not a
   call to `mdDoc` or `lib.mdDoc`
 - textually convert the entire value of the attribute to MD with a few
   simple regexes (the set from mdize-module.sh)
 - if the change produced a change in the manual output, discard
 - if the change kept the manual unchanged, add some text to the
   description to make sure we've actually found an option. if the
   manual changes this time, keep the converted description

this procedure converts 80% of nixos options to markdown. around 2000
options remain to be inspected, but most of those fail the "does not
change the manual output check": currently the MD conversion process
does not faithfully convert docbook tags like <code> and <package>, so
any option using such tags will not be converted at all.

nixos/treewide: remove boolean examples for options
They contain no useful information and increase the length of the
autogenerated options documentation.

See discussion in #18816.

nixos/offlineimap: Move to services/mail
The services/networking directory is already quite polluted and the
first point where I was looking for the offlineimap module was in
services/mail and didn't find it there.

Offlineimap already has IMAP in its name and clearly belongs to the
"mail" category so let's move it there.

Tested by evaluating a configuration with services.offlineimap enabled.
