This commit removes the `home-manager-render-docs` package in favor
of upstream `nixos-render-docs` where the manpage generator has been
updated to take a `--header` and a `--footer` flag specifying static
content around the content derived from the options.json file.
This commit extracts the htmlOpenTool from `nmd` into a module
in the home-manager docs directory. This is done to provide feature
parity with the documentation generated using the docbook .xml files.
The `optionsDocBook` function is deprecated in nixpkgs since
nixos-23.11. This commit updates the manual and manpages to
use commonmark formatted documentation instead of the deprecated
docbook format.
Output is mostly unchanged aside from some minor typographical and
formatting changes, along with better source links.
We temporarily export `options.docBookForMigration` to allow
`nix-doc-munge` to check its conversions.
* home-environment: add `home.sessionVariablesPackage`
Allow the `hm-session-vars.sh` derivation to be referenced from other
modules, e.g. to translate it to fish with babelfish at build time.
* fish: use babelfish for `hm-session-vars.sh`
Translate `hm-session-vars.sh` to fish at system build time,
significantly decreasing shell startup time.

* PR_TEMPLATE: Note nix3 test method in checklist
Allows for running with the `nixpkgs` from the lock file, as well as
using a more familiar interface for users of the experimental CLI, which
would've avoided me opening #3971.
Also updates the corresponding note in `docs/contributing.adoc` to have
the correct invocation path.
* PR_TEMPLATE: `the experimental CLI` -> `Flakes`
The link to the Nix RFC 42 is invalid. Replace this with a valid link to the
upstream NixOS/rfcs repo, pinning it to the commit that introduced the RFC.
The init command is essentially the old install script but integrated
into the home-manager tool. This simplifies things slightly since we
can use the existing code infrastructure.
The init command is Nix flake aware in the sense that, if we detect
that the user's Nix setup supports flakes, then we also create an
initial `flake.nix` file.
Finally, we update the installation instructions for the Nix flakes
standalone setup to use the new init command.

This changes the default configuration location for Home Manager
configurations from
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/nixpkgs
to
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/home-manager
The old location is still supported but using it will trigger a
warning message.
Fixes#3640
Install home-manager via `nix run` rather than `nix-build` then running
the activation script out of the store manually.

Internally we already managed them per-profile but exposed a global
option to maintain backwards compatibility. The benefit to having
per-profile extensions is quite large though, so it is time to switch.
Users of the global extensions option will get an error message that
indicates how to edit their configuration to work again.
This flag is useful to force Nix to re-fetch cached flakes. Without it,
you cannot deploy from a non-local flake in quick succession, since the
caching causes the flake to not be re-fetched.
