Emily 36a53d9f26 treewide: convert all option docs to Markdown
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.

To reproduce this commit, run:

  $ NIX_PATH=nixpkgs=flake:nixpkgs/e7e69199f0372364a6106a1e735f68604f4c5a25 \
    nix shell nixpkgs#coreutils \
    -c find . -name '*.nix' \
    -exec nix run -- github:emilazy/nix-doc-munge/98dadf1f77351c2ba5dcb709a2a171d655f15099 \
    {} +
  $ ./format

Whether to generate the manual page index caches using

building. If you don't mind waiting a few more seconds when
Home Manager builds a new generation, you may safely enable
this option.
