6a117e2759 nixos/doc: render option values using lib.generators.toPretty
Render un`_type`d defaults and examples as `literalExpression`s using
`lib.generators.toPretty` so that consumers don't have to reinvent Nix
pretty-printing. `renderOptionValue` is kept internal for now intentionally.

Make `toPretty` print floats as valid Nix values (without a tilde).

Get rid of the now-obsolete `substSpecial` function.

Move towards disallowing evaluation of packages in the manual by
raising a warning on `pkgs.foo.{outPath,drvPath}`; later, this should
throw an error. Instead, module authors should use `literalExpression`
and `mkPackageOption`.

lib/options/showOption: fix quoting of attr-names that are not identifiers
Personally, I think that warnings such as

    warning: The option `services.redis.enable' defined in `/home/ma27/Projects/nixpkgs/test.nix@node-vm' has been renamed to `services.redis.servers..enable'.

are fairly confusing because of the `..` and it's more correct to
actually quote that. With this change the warning now looks like this:

    warning: The option `services.redis.enable' defined in `/home/ma27/Projects/nixpkgs/test.nix@node-vm' has been renamed to `services.redis.servers."".enable'.

While implementing that I realized that you'd have
a similar problem whenever you use attribute-names that aren't
identifiers, e.g.

    services.nginx.virtualHosts."example.org".locations."/".invalid = 23;

now results in the following error:

    error: The option `interactive.nodes.vm.services.nginx.virtualHosts."example.org".locations."/".invalid' does not exist. Definition values:
           - In `/home/ma27/Projects/nixpkgs/test.nix@node-vm': 23

Of course there are some corner-cases where this won't work: when
generating the manual, you display submodules like this:

    services.nginx.virtualHosts.<name>

Since `<name>` isn't a value, but an indicator for a submodule, it must
not be quoted. This also applies to the following identifiers:

* `*` for `listOf submodule`
* `<function body>` for `functionTo`

This might not be correct if you actually have a submodule with an
attribute name called `<name>`, but I think it's an improvement over the
current situation and for this you'd probably need to make even more
complex changes to the module system.

96698efe0c lib/modules: Finally remove deprecated types.optionSet
types.optionSet has been deprecated for almost 10 years now
(0e333688ce)! A removal
was already attempted in 2019
(27982b408e), but it was promptly
reinstantiated since some third-party uses were discovered
(f531ce75e4178c6867cc1d0f7fec96b2d5c3f1cb).

It's finally time to remove it for good :)

fc614c37c6 nixos/documentation: split options doc build
most modules can be evaluated for their documentation in a very
restricted environment that doesn't include all of nixpkgs. this
evaluation can then be cached and reused for subsequent builds, merging
only documentation that has changed into the cached set. since nixos
ships with a large number of modules of which only a few are used in any
given config this can save evaluation a huge percentage of nixos
options available in any given config.

in tests of this caching, despite having to copy most of nixos/, saves
about 80% of the time needed to build the system manual, or about two
second on the machine used for testing. build time for a full system
config shrank from 9.4s to 7.4s, while turning documentation off
entirely shortened the build to 7.1s.

lib/generators: move limit detection into withRecursion
As suggested in #131205.

Now it's possible to pretty-print a value with `lib.generators` like
this:

    with lib.generators;
    toPretty { }
      (withRecursion { depthLimit = 10; } /* arbitrarily complex value */)

Also, this can be used for any other pretty-printer now if needed.

lib/options: use depthLimit for toPretty when showing a definition
When having a bogus declaration such as

    { lib, ... }:
    {
      foo.bar = mkOption {
        type = types.str;
      };
    }

the evaluation will terminate with a not-so helpful

    error: stack overflow (possible infinite recursion)

To make sure a useful error is still provided, I added a `depthLimit` of
`10` which should be perfectly sufficient to `toPretty` when it's used
in an error-case for `showDefs`.

998a9c1707 lib/options: Better mergeEqualOption error for uncomparable types
For an option definition that uses `lib.options.mergeEqualOption`
underneath, like `types.anything`, an error is thrown when multiple
functions are assigned, indicating that functions can't be compared for
equivalence:

  error: The option `test' has conflicting definition values:
  - In `xxx': <function>
  - In `xxx': <function>
  (use '--show-trace' to show detailed location information)

However, the error message didn't use the correct files. While above
error indicates that both definitions are in the xxx file, that's in
fact not true. Above error was generated with

  options.test = lib.mkOption {
    type = lib.types.anything;
  };

  imports = [
    {
      _file = "yyy";
      test = y: y;
    }
    {
      _file = "xxx";
      test = x: x;
    }
  ];

With this change, the error uses the correct file locations:

  error: The option `test' has conflicting definition values:
  - In `xxx': <function>
  - In `yyy': <function>
  (use '--show-trace' to show detailed location information)

lib/options: Don't show internal suboption in the manual
Initially https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/82897 prevented

this, aligning the recurse condition here with the one in

afa6c51f27 lib: Use Nix's static scope checking, fix error message, optimize
Nix can perform static scope checking, but whenever code is inside
a `with` expression, the analysis breaks down, because it can't
know statically what's in the attribute set whose attributes were
brought into scope. In those cases, Nix has to assume that
everything works out.

Except it doesnt. Removing `with` from lib/ revealed an undefined
variable in an error message.

If that doesn't convince you that we're better off without `with`,
I can tell you that this PR results in a 3% evaluation performance
improvement because Nix can look up local variables by index.
This adds up with applications like the module system.

Furthermore, removing `with` makes the binding site of each
variable obvious, which helps with comprehension.

lib/options: Relax showOption quoting
124cccbe3b
broke the build of NixOS manual.

It does not make sense to be as strict as with attributes since we
are not limited by the CLI's inability to handle numbers.
Placeholders should not be quoted either as they are not part of Nix
syntax but a meta-level construct.

bfb6ef1d59 module system: prettify a bit error when unique option defined twice
The error can be reproduced like:
```
$ nix-instantiate ./nixos -A system --arg configuration '
  { fileSystems."/".device = "nodev";
    boot.loader.grub.devices = [ "nodev" ];
    containers.t.config.imports = [ <nixpkgs/nixos/modules/virtualisation/amazon-image.nix> ];
  }'
```

Previously error was:
```
error: The unique option `containers.t.networking.hostName' is defined multiple times, in `/nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/root/channels/nixpkgs/nixos/modules/virtualisation/amazon-image.nix' and `module at /home/danbst/dev/nixpkgs/nixos/modules/virtualisation/containers.nix:470'.
(use '--show-trace' to show detailed location information)
```

Now it is:
```
error: The unique option `containers.t.networking.hostName' is defined multiple times, in:
 - /nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/root/channels/nixpkgs/nixos/modules/virtualisation/amazon-image.nix
 - module at /home/danbst/dev/nixpkgs/nixos/modules/virtualisation/containers.nix:470.

module system: revert "remove types.optionSet", just deprecate (#56857)
The explicit remove helped to uncover some hidden uses of `optionSet`
in NixOps. However it makes life harder for end-users of NixOps - it will
be impossible to deploy 19.03 systems with old NixOps, but there is no
new release of NixOps with `optionSet` fixes.

Also, "deprecation" process isn't well defined. Even that `optionSet` was
declared "deprecated" for many years, it was never announced. Hence, I
leave "deprecation" announce. Then, 3 releases after announce,
we can announce removal of this feature.

This type has to be removed, not `throw`-ed in runtime, because it makes
some perfectly fine code to fail. For example:
```
$ nix-instantiate --eval -E '(import <nixpkgs/lib>).types' --strict
trace: `types.list` is deprecated; use `types.listOf` instead
error: types.optionSet is deprecated; use types.submodule instead
(use '--show-trace' to show detailed location information)
