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

7cfaba911d manual: Hardening: Remove now-nonexistent ArchWiki link.
The page has been replaced by the much more general page
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Security#Packages
which is barely talking about hardening flags any more.

ac36a0f9eb manual: hardening: Fix disabled flags prose being in previous section
This confused the hell out of me, as I didn't spot the

> The following flags are disabled by default ...

when reading about `pie`, because that sentence was hidden in the
previous hardening flag's section.

Also explain that `pie` hardening is on by default on musl.

b0b5ef7286 stdenv: introduce dontAddStaticConfigureFlags
With removeUnknownConfigureFlags, it's impossible to express a package
that needs --enable-static, but will not accept --disable-shared,
without overriding the result of removeUnknownConfigureFlags _again_
in pkgs/top-level/static.nix.

It would be much better (and more in line with the rest of Nixpkgs) if
we encoded changes needed for static builds in package definitions
themselves, rather than in an ever-expanding list in static.nix.  This
is especially true when doing it in static.nix is going to require
multiple overrides to express what could be expressed with stdenv
options.

So as a step in that direction, and to fix the problem described
above, here I replace removeUnknownConfigureFlags with a new stdenv
option, dontAddStaticConfigureFlags.  With this mechanism, a package
that needs one but not both of the flags just needs to set
dontAddStaticConfigureFlags and then set up configureFlags manually
based on stdenv.hostPlatform.isStatic.

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.

Recover the complicated situation after my bad merge
I made a mistake merge.  Reverting it in c778945806 undid the state
on master, but now I realize it crippled the git merge mechanism.
As the merge contained a mix of commits from `master..staging-next`
and other commits from `staging-next..staging`, it got the
`staging-next` branch into a state that was difficult to recover.

I reconstructed the "desired" state of staging-next tree by:
 - checking out the last commit of the problematic range: 4effe769e2
 - `git rebase -i --preserve-merges a8a018ddc0` - dropping the mistaken
   merge commit and its revert from that range (while keeping
   reapplication from 4effe769e2)
 - merging the last unaffected staging-next commit (803ca85c20)
 - fortunately no other commits have been pushed to staging-next yet
 - applying a diff on staging-next to get it into that state

Revert "Merge #101508: libraw: 0.20.0 -> 0.20.2"
I'm sorry; I didn't notice it contained staging commits.

This reverts commit 17f5305b6c, reversing
changes made to a8a018ddc0.

7e1e8543fc installShellFiles: Enhance installShellCompletion
Teach installShellCompletion how to install completions from a named
pipe. Also add a convenience flag `--cmd NAME` that synthesizes the name
for each completion instead of requiring repeated `--name` flags.

Usage looks something like

    installShellCompletion --cmd foobar \
      --bash <($out/bin/foobar --bash-completion) \
      --fish <($out/bin/foobar --fish-completion) \
      --zsh <($out/bin/foobar --zsh-completion)

Fixes #83284

hooks: add moveSystemdUserUnitsHook
This hook moves systemd user service file from `lib/systemd/user` to
`share/systemd/user`. This is to allow systemd to find the user
services when installed into a user profile. The `lib/systemd/user`
path does not work since `lib` is not in `XDG_DATA_DIRS`.
