1b7e43471f doc: remove misleading kernel.features explanation
At this point kernel.features is more of an implementation detail and
normal users should not come into contact with it.

f124c73686 nginx: change etags for statically compressed files served from store
Per RFC 9110, [section 8.8.1][1], different representations of the same
resource should have different Etags:

> A strong validator is unique across all versions of all
> representations associated with a particular resource over time.
> However, there is no implication of uniqueness across representations
> of different resources (i.e., the same strong validator might be in
> use for representations of multiple resources at the same time and
> does not imply that those representations are equivalent)

When serving statically compressed files (ie, when there is an existing
corresponding .gz/.br/etc. file on disk), Nginx sends the Etag marked
as strong. These tags should be different for each compressed format
(as shown in  an explicit example in section [8.8.3.3][2] of the RFC).
Upstream Etags are composed of the file modification timestamp and
content length, and the latter generally changes between these
representations.

Previous implementation of Nix-specific Etags for things served from
store used the store hash. This is fine to share between different
files, but it becomes a problem for statically compressed versions of
the same file, as it means Nginx was serving different representations
of the same resource with the same Etag, marked as strong.

This patch addresses this by imitating the upstream Nginx behavior, and
appending the value of content length to the store hash.

1d7ee9ff09 doc: consolidate info on manual linux kernel configs
The Nixpkgs documentation on the linux kernel builders focused on
using and extending kernels that were already packaged, but never
mentioned that it's possible to also build a kernel almost "from
scratch".
The NixOS documentation went a bit deeper on manual linux kernel
configs, but that information wasn't particularly NixOS-specific.

This commit consolidates the information related to building the
kernel on Nixpkgs's documentation, while keeping any additional
NixOS-specific information on NixOS's documentation.

An additional README.md was created for contributor-facing
documentation.

doc: avoid 'simply' (#266434)
While the word 'simply' is usually added to encourage readers, it often has the
opposite effect and may even appear condescending, especially when the reader
runs into trouble trying to apply the suggestions from the documentation. It is
almost always an improvement to simply drop the word from the sentence.

(there are more possible improvements like this, we can apply those in separate
PRs)
