doc: prepare for commonmark
We are still using Pandoc’s Markdown parser, which differs from CommonMark spec slightly.

Notably:
- Line breaks in lists behave differently.
- 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.

mkShell: introduce packages argument (#122180)
The distinction between the inputs doesn't really make sense in the
mkShell context.  Technically speaking, we should be using the
nativeBuildInputs most of the time.

So in order to make this function more beginner-friendly, add "packages"
as an attribute, that maps to nativeBuildInputs.

This commit also updates all the uses in nixpkgs.

doc: add function argument order convention (#110060)
* doc: add function argument order convention

Ordering by usage is the de facto ordering given to arguments. It's
logical, and makes finding argument usage easier. Putting lib first is
common in NixOS modules, so it's reasonable to mirror this in nixpkgs
proper. Additionally, it's not a package as such, has zero dependencies,
and can be found used anywhere in a derivation.

495c2b5112 doc: use newer ruby documentation
With the addition of ruby.withPackages, manveru rewrote the nixpkgs
manual section for the ruby language but did not add it to the manual.
This commit replaces the previous documentation with manveru's updated
version.
