Remove "-s" and "-w" from the ldflags example
The go linker `-s` and `-w` flags respectively are for:

- Omit the symbol table and debug information.
- Omit the DWARF symbol table.

Those actions should be delegated to the fixup build phase instead.

3b40e1bd33 buildNimPackage: allow overriding nim package args
Without this, it's impossible to override the lockFile as the default
overrideAttrs is applied after the composition in buildNimPackage has
read the lock file and generated the nim flags from it.

f5dafbfa83 doc: Rename to Nixpkgs reference manual and state purpose
For the time being, we're moving towards https://nix.dev/ containing
all tutorials and guides. The Nixpkgs manual is reinforced to be a
_reference_ manual. While it's not just reference for now, that's what
the docs team is working towards.

This commits rewrites the Nixpkgs manual introduction to reflect that
and point to some more useful links. The contribution docs are updated
similarly so it's not missed.

4769458228 CONTRIBUTING.md: Update markdown emphasising syntax
GitHub supported special markdown syntax for emphasising blocks for some
time. This was however a beta feature, and still is, so it's subject to
changes.

Recently such a change happened: The syntax is different now.

8b51cdd3be rustc: add a compiler wrapper
We keep running into situations where we can't get the right
combination of rustc flags through build systems into rustc.
RUSTFLAGS is the only variable supported across build systems, but if
RUSTFLAGS is set, Cargo will ignore all other ways of specifying rustc
flags, including the target-specific ones, which we need to make
dynamic musl builds work.  (This is why pkgsCross.musl64.crosvm is
currently broken — it works if you unset separateDebugInfo, which
causes RUSTFLAGS not to be set.)

So, we need to do the same thing we do for C and C++ compilers, and
add a compiler wrapper so we can inject the flags we need, regardless
of the build system.

Currently the wrapper only supports a single mechanism for injecting
flags — the NIX_RUSTFLAGS environment variable.  As time goes on,
we'll probably want to add additional features, like target-specific
environment variables.

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.

57801428da doc/stdenv: update manual phases execution instructions
Update instructions for manual build phases execution via `nix-shell` to
cover all phases. There is no easy way of getting those commands, so it
makes a sense to have them all properly documented.
