Silvan Mosberger 4f0dadbf38 treewide: format all inactive Nix files
After final improvements to the official formatter implementation,
this commit now performs the first treewide reformat of Nix files using it.
This is part of the implementation of RFC 166.

Only "inactive" files are reformatted, meaning only files that
aren't being touched by any PR with activity in the past 2 months.
This is to avoid conflicts for PRs that might soon be merged.
Later we can do a full treewide reformat to get the rest,
which should not cause as many conflicts.

A CI check has already been running for some time to ensure that new and
already-formatted files are formatted, so the files being reformatted here
should also stay formatted.

/**
Generates documentation for [nix modules](https://nix.dev/tutorials/module-system/index.html).
It uses the declared `options` to generate documentation in various formats.
# Outputs
This function returns an attribute set with the following entries.
## optionsCommonMark
Documentation in CommonMark text format.
## optionsJSON
All options in a JSON format suitable for further automated processing.
`example.json`
```json
{
...
"fileSystems.<name>.options": {
"declarations": ["nixos/modules/tasks/filesystems.nix"],
"default": {
"_type": "literalExpression",
"text": "[\n \"defaults\"\n]"
},
"description": "Options used to mount the file system.",
"example": {
"_type": "literalExpression",
"text": "[\n \"data=journal\"\n]"
},
"loc": ["fileSystems", "<name>", "options"],
"readOnly": false,
"type": "non-empty (list of string (with check: non-empty))"
"relatedPackages": "- [`pkgs.tmux`](\n https://search.nixos.org/packages?show=tmux&sort=relevance&query=tmux\n )\n",
},
...
}
```
## optionsAsciiDoc
Documentation rendered as AsciiDoc. This is useful for e.g. man pages.
> Note: NixOS itself uses this ouput to to build the configuration.nix man page"
## optionsNix
All options as a Nix attribute set value, with the same schema as `optionsJSON`.
# Example
## Example: NixOS configuration
```nix
let
# Evaluate a NixOS configuration
eval = import (pkgs.path + "/nixos/lib/eval-config.nix") {
# Overriden explicitly here, this would include all modules from NixOS otherwise.
# See: docs of eval-config.nix for more details
baseModules = [];
modules = [
./module.nix
];
};
in
pkgs.nixosOptionsDoc {
inherit (eval) options;
}
```
## Example: non-NixOS modules
`nixosOptionsDoc` can also be used to build documentation for non-NixOS modules.
```nix
let
eval = lib.evalModules {
modules = [
./module.nix
];
};
in
pkgs.nixosOptionsDoc {
inherit (eval) options;
}
```

#
# NOTE: No checks against `pkgs` are made to ensure that the referenced package actually exists.
# Such checks are not compatible with option docs caching.
