The apropos software is useful to get a list of manpages matching a
description or to get a list of all manpages. The latter feature is
used by Emacs to get manpage completion (`M-x man`).
To have apropos working, a database of all available manpages must be
built with mandb. This is what this commits does.
A similar change was done for NixOS:

This makes the systemd module use the sd-switch application to perform
the unit switch during a generation activation.
Since the closure of sd-switch is relatively lightweight we
unconditionally pull it in as a dependency. We simultaneously remove
the `systemd.user.startServices` option and perform the switch action
automatically.

Add 'services.emacs.socketActivation.enable' for generating an
'emacs.socket' systemd unit.
Emacs since version 26 has supported socket activation, whereby an
external process manager such as systemd listens on a socket and passes
it to the Emacs daemon when the manager launches it. This improves
startup time of the user session and avoids launching the daemon when not
needed, for example when launching the user session via SSH.
This implementation hard-codes the socket path to the default for the
version of 'programs.emacs.finalPackage', because systemd does not
perform shell expansion in the socket unit's 'ListenStream' parameter
and it seems like an advanced use-case to change the socket path. Shell
expansion would be desirable as the socket path usually resides in
directories such as $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR or $TMPDIR.
Tests were added to verify behavior in the following cases:
- Emacs service with socket activation disabled
- Emacs 26 with socket activation enabled
- Emacs 27 with socket activation enabled

Nixpkgs no longer packages compton, and instead packages picom, a
(mostly) compatible fork of compton, providing an alias from compton
to picom. Because some configuration options have been changed, and
all references to "compton" have been made deprecated and replaced
with "picom", 'services.compton' has been deprecated in favor of the
new 'services.picom'.

Add 'services.lieer', which generates systemd timer and service units
to synchronize a Gmail account with lieer. Per-account configuration
lives in 'accounts.email.accounts.<name>.lieer.sync'.
Add 'programs.lieer', a tool for synchronizing a Gmail account with a
local maildir and notmuch database. Per-account configuration lives in
'accounts.email.accounts.<name>.lieer'.
This allows the ability to provide arguments to a function, such as
`--on-event` in order to trigger a function on the
`fish_command_not_found` event, for example.

This adds a service module for [grobi](https://github.com/fd0/grobi),
which can be used to automatically configure monitors/outputs for Xorg
via RANDR.
