* tutorials: fix passing paramaters to geocode
When running the package as-is the following error occurs
``geocode: line 7: $1: unbound``
This is caused because ``scripts.geocode`` does not pass the parameters
down to the wrapped script ``geocode``.

this is the most cursed setup you will see any time soon.
we're dumping the Nix manual unchanged into the build tree *after*
building. the reason is that we'd want to link to it from our table of
contents, but because Sphinx does not allow adding arbitrary files to
the build output in arbitrary locations (only `_static` works). but we
want to place the manual behind a particular URL, and the alternative of
maintaining URL rewrites (e.g. in nginx) is not accessible here because the
infrastructure is managed somewhere else.
now that the files won't appear in their desired locations at Sphinx
build time, we can't use relative links to reference them, therefore we
have to resort to pointing to the web URL the manual will appear at.
this is terrible and I'm sorry. please fix this if you have a better
idea. once we use URLs though, we have to avoid linkchecking, since
those files may not be there before deploying them.
figuring all of this out took way longer than anyone would wish.

...hopefully. can't test it without Google API key
* add file watching
yes, this looks scary, and yes, it works.
* update diff and wording
* more notes on potential pitfalls
* be explicit which `map` we mean
* split nullable from default values
* also wrap the geocode script

* add separate section for `evalModules` and fix link
* make option strucutre more self-explanatory
* explain command line invocations
* add note on incomplete reference documentation
* add more highlight to the `config` distinction
* fix parameter passing to the `./map` script
* fix typo
* fix wording

* change most headers to be about module features (#797)
* change most headers to be about module features
Some headers could not be made about module features, and that's a
strong signal that those sections should be removed.

recent additions to the Nix manual clarify the distinction between
search path and lookup path, and also document the resolution algorithm.
lookup paths are now a distinct Nix language construct with its own
reference documentation.
* Remove specific software name from header
There's enough detail about it below, and the specific tech isn't the point of this section anyway.

this removes a difference to how Nix currently fetches flake references.
using a constant is preferrable because renaming the source won't force
downstream rebuilds of store objects cached from when flakes were used.
upstream fix: https://github.com/nmattia/niv/pull/379
use niv for dependency management.
this follows our own tutorials on writing packages and development
shells, and we generally find it is easier to read and work with.

This does not yet follow #701, because the change to get there would be
too big. The goal is to keep the table of contents meaningful at all
times and the diff of each pull request manageable.
The packaging tutorial is quite important, so it's not wrong to have it
visible on the front page until we have enough material for a packaging
section.
The sharing dependencies article should really be a very brief guide, but
because that would be quite a big change, it's only moved to the Guides
section for now.
