When a non-directory, such as a file or a dead symlink, already exists,
mkdir -p fails with "cannot create directory ‘...’: File exists".
This is a problem when, for example, a symlink points to a directory on
a filesystem that isn't mounted yet.
These (and the `*MD` functions apart from `literalMD`) are now no-ops
in nixpkgs and serve no purpose other than to add additional noise and
potentially mislead people into thinking unmarked DocBook documentation
will still be accepted.
Note that if backporting changes including documentation to 23.05,
the `mdDoc` calls will need to be re-added.

This process was automated by [my fork of `nix-doc-munge`]. All
conversions were automatically checked to produce the same DocBook
result when converted back, modulo minor typographical/formatting
differences on the acceptable-to-desirable spectrum.

Previously, this module was all-or-nothing with its pre-defined user
dirs. This allows e.g. `xdg.userDirs.desktop = null;` to opt-out of
some configuration while still benefiting from the rest.
Instead of referencing the `HOME` environment variable, use the
`home.homeDirectory` option. This allows other modules to reference an
XDG user directory without having to support shell syntax.
In the scenario where some XDG user directory is a symlink defined by
`home.file`, we want the symlink to be created before we try to
`mkdir -p` that directory, as it will then silently succeed. On the
other hand, if we create the directory first, creating the symlink
will fail.
We lose nothing by doing this as `linkGeneration` creates the
directories it needs.
Changed option types to `either str path` to allow using path values.
The related session variable is defined for the default and the extra
user directories now.
Before, loading a module would be guarded by an optional platform
condition. This made it possible to avoid loading and evaluating a
module if it did not support the host platform.
Unfortunately, this made it impossible to share a single configuration
between GNU/Linux and Darwin hosts, which some wish to do.
This removes the conditional load and instead inserts host platform
assertions in the modules that are platform specific.
Fixes#1906
Before this change,
```rust
fn main() {
println!("{:?}", glib::get_user_special_dir(glib::UserDirectory::Documents));
}
```
would return `None` even though `~/Documents` is available and
`xdg.userDirs.enable = true`. Checking the differences between
`xdg-user-dirs-update` shows that the latter has quotes around each
thing.
