nixos/manual: improve error message for invalid values in `relatedPackages'
As reported in NixOS discourse[1], tracking down invalid values in
`relatedPackages'[2] (i.e. list-items that don't exist in `pkgs`) is
fairly hard as the message "Invalid package attribute path `foobar'"
is quite unhelpful and the trace doesn't point to the source of the
problem either.

This patch improves the error message by mentioning that the issue is an
invalid `relatedPackages`-declaration in $optionName.

3c15d578d4 make-options-doc: fix string context issues
When using `documentation.nixos.includeAllModules = true;` with external
modules, the string context might contain dependencies to derivations
and so `toFile` refuses to evaluate;

```
error: in 'toFile': the file 'options.xml' cannot refer to derivation outputs, at
[...]/nixpkgs/nixos/lib/make-options-doc/default.nix:89:16
```

This is not an issue when using `writeText` (instead of manually
stripping the context).

Extract NixOS options documentation generation to a function
Motivation is to support other repositories containing nixos
modules that would like to generate options documentation:

- nix-darwin
- private repos
- arion
- ??
