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`.
Unlike the XML doc renderer, the AsciiDoc and CommonMark renderers don't
pretty-print certain complex types, like literal expressions, DocBook
literals, and derivations. These types are dumped into the documentation
as JSON.
This commit parses and unwraps these types when loading the
JSON-formatted NixOS options. The AsciiDoc and CommonMark renders have
also been combined into a single script to allow code reuse.
Before this patch, if we:
1. add a new user in the config,
2. mount /home seperately,
3. not set neededForBoot for /home,
4. and run `nixos-rebuild boot`,
the newly added user's home will not be created after a reboot. This
is because when nixos/modules/config/update-users-groups.pl is running
in stage 2 to setup users, /home is not mounted.
This patch fixes this issue.
\<foo\> will often be displayed like \<foo>, for example by mkdocs.
I've tested a number of markdown renderers and they render html escape
sequences fine.
Until this commit, the documentation suggested `multi-user.target`
as `wantedBy` for all services.
Since `multi-user.target` is not available for user services,
propose a different default for those in the documentation.

Provide a window during which both solutions are valid without
warnings, in order to fight warning fatigue, and not to push 3rd
party repo maintainers to add unnecessary compat code.
Fixes the problem introduced by 12b3066aae
which caused nixos/release.nix to return the wrong attributes, while
intending to only affect nixos/lib's runTest.
This also removes callTest from the test options, because callTest is
only ever invoked by all-tests.nix.
