Don't try to validate a limited set of hardcoded options, instead just
convert them as-is. Now, users can keep all their options in a single
attribute set, including arbitrary `user_{option}`s which was impossible
to express with a hard-coded submodule. As a plus, there is also less
maintainence burden.
While the locale options were declared, the weren't used in the
generation of the config file, because the locale submodule missed a
default, which failed the tests. I added an empty attribute set as a
default, which fixes the test, and works with the defaults in the
submodule options as expected.
* gh: option to enable helper for additional hosts
`gh` can also be used with github enterprise
hosts, for which there exists no easy option
to enable the credential helper except for
directly working with `programs.git.extraConfig`.
Not sure if this is a needed addition since it's
somewhat niche, at the same time it's not very
complex and makes the life of github enterprise
a little easier.
* gh: update credential-helper tests
* gh: refactor credential helper option
this moves from `enableGitCredentialHelper` to
`gitCredentialHelper.enable` and
`gitCredentialHelper.hosts`.
* gh: lib.mkIf -> mkIf
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.

The NixOS variant of Markdown doesn't make a distinction between
`<code>` and `<literal>` or `<quote>` and... quotes, and doesn't
support `<parameter>` or `<replaceable>`. These are infrequently used
(apart from `<code>`) and don't add much, so just convert them to
simpler forms to allow the options containing them to be converted
to Markdown automatically.
A few minor syntactic adjustments were also made to make
`nix-doc-munge`'s job easier.
The Markdown options processor cannot handle rendering tables
to DocBook. This could be fixed, but as we won't be using the
DocBook output for long I just removed them for now in the interest
of expediency; they were all well-suited to being description lists
showing option types anyway, apart from one awkward case in the form
of trayer, which also had ad-hoc syntax for enumerating acceptable
values in the documentation. Since the types aren't actually used for
option processing anyway, I changed them to use `enum` and similar to
give a single description of the acceptable values without a big table.
`nix-doc-munge` can't handle these, which is understandable as I can
barely handle them either. There are a few infelicities here: the
current processor can't handle multiple terms to one description in
a description list so they get comma-separated in one case, and one
case that should ideally render as a `<figure>` with a `<figcaption>`
in HTML is reduced to a paragraph with some `<strong>` text. (Which, in
fairness, is how it rendered in practice with the DocBook anyway.) The
docs generator has since been updated to handle figures, but we can't
use it until moving off DocBook output.
These files all have options that trip up the `nix-doc-munge`
conversion tool for one reason or another (syntax that clashes with
Markdown, options that were already using Markdown syntax despite not
being marked that way, output that differs slightly after conversion,
syntax too elaborate to convert with some cheap regular expressions,
...). Translate them manually and do a little copyediting to options
in the vicinity while we're at it.
