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.

Tests
Home Manager includes a basic test suite and it is highly recommended to include at least one test when adding a module. Tests are typically in the form of "golden tests" where, for example, a generated configuration file is compared to a known correct file.
It is relatively easy to create tests by modeling the existing tests,
found in the tests project directory. For a full reference to the
functions available in test scripts, you can look at NMT's
bash-lib.
The full Home Manager test suite can be run by executing
$ nix-shell --pure tests -A run.all
in the project root. List all test cases through
$ nix-shell --pure tests -A list
and run an individual test, for example alacritty-empty-settings,
through
$ nix-shell --pure tests -A run.alacritty-empty-settings
However, those invocations will impurely source the system's nixpkgs, and may cause failures. To run against the nixpkgs from the flake.lock, use instead e.g.
$ nix develop --ignore-environment .#all
