fetchpatch: add relative
Allows restricting patches to a specific subdirectory, à la
`git diff --relative=subdir`.

This cannot be done (cleanly) currently because the `includes` logic
happens *after* `stripLen` is applied, so we can't match on `subdir/*`.

This change adds a `relative` argument that makes this possible by
filtering files before doing any processing, and setting `stripLen` and
`extraPrefix` accordingly.

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 :)

daca830722 doc/coding-conventions: Fix version attribute suffix to match reality
The current doc is wildly out of touch with reality. A regex search shows
the following stats.

```
Style example  Frequency  Regex used
nix-2-5:            8     [a-zA-Z]-[0-9]+(-[0-9]+)+ =
nix-2_5:           17     [a-zA-Z]-[0-9]+(_[0-9]+)+ =
nix_2_5:          689     [a-zA-Z]_[0-9]+(_[0-9]+)+ =
nix_2-5:            1     [a-zA-Z]_[0-9]+(-[0-9]+)+ =

nixpkgs-docs: when to prefer passthru.tests over installCheckPhase
And mention you can have either lightweight 'package' or
more heavyweight 'NixOS' (module) tests.

This was suggested at
https://github.com/ryantm/nixpkgs-update/issues/260#issuecomment-821287971
and discussed further at
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/119731

840fd0a4f8 doc/coding-conventions: Increase passthru test timeout 3s -> 60s
3s is too small a margin for a loaded slow system to start a bloated
program.
This leads to problems when tests are written on decent dev hardware
but later run on build farms of potentially slower hardware,
particularly in the case of non x86.

The chance of needing the timeout is actually very small, so those
rare 57s are a reasonable price to pay for fewer timeouts on build
farms, each of which should be investigated and usually fixed by
increasing the timeout.

Officially, only the manpage role is supported at the moment.

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.

49bd30eb33 Add the -a param to the docs
The patch utility does not understand git formatted patches.
For text files, there is no problem, but binary files use the
git format.

The -a param makes git diff put binary files into the patch in
raw format that can be understood by the patch tool.

dc3dea22be doc/submitting-changes: should -> must
To me, as a native English speaker, this doesn't change the meaning of
the sentence at all.  But to a non-native speaker, this can read like
the staging-next rules are only recommendations.  Let's make this
clearer.
