542f5d4f4d lib.option.mergeUniqueOption: Simplify and add warning about merge function
The previous code was optimized for the old uniq behavior, which did not
call merge. That's changed, so the legacy path is not a hot path anymore,
and is not worth any tech debt.

lib: make deprecation warnings consistent
The deprecation warnings in lib were wildly inconsistent. Different
formulations were used in different places for the same meaning. Some warnings
used builtins.trace instead of lib.warn, which prevents silencing; one even
only had a comment instead. Make everything more uniform.

b78ba9bc68 lib.types.unique: Check inner type deeply
This doesn't change uniq. Why not?

- In NixOS it seems that uniq is only used with
  simple types that are fully checked by t.check.

- It exists for much longer and is used more widely.

- I believe we should deprecate it, because unique was
  already better.

- unique can be a proving ground.

lib/options: nullable mkPackageOption
It is sometimes useful to allow setting a package option to `null` to
skip installing the package. See
https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager/pull/3668#issuecomment-1554044171
for example.

lib/options: fix rendering of options with only a defaultText
Some options have their default value set in the `config` instead of
`default`, for example to push `mkDefault`s down an attribute set.
In those cases, it's useful to provide a `defaultText` for informational
purposes.

f0e8db002b lib/options: fix mkPackageOption docs
nixdoc takes everything from Type: to Example: as the type, which
misrendered a large part of the docs. it also drops sorely needed spaces
where the type had line breaks, so all has to be on one line (or use
non-standard literal spaces, which is probably worse).

also clarify what the `?` for arguments mean while we're here.

lib: standardise attrset type syntax
There are a number of different syntaxes used for attrset type
signatures in our doc strings, this change standardises upon one that
uses :: for specifying attribute type, and ; terminators to be
consistent with nix syntax. There are no bugs in the functions
themselves, just that different syntaxes may confuse new users.

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.

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`.
