Remove superfluous variation of a snippet ( #732 )
...
The cross compilation documentation is showing, at some point, two
variations on how to get a cross-compiled package out of Nixpkgs. Those
two versions are strictly equivalent (the only difference is what part
of the full attribute set paths is put in the variable named `pkgs`) and
don't really improve understanding - arguably, rather hurts it.

Not sure if this is the right place for it, but it seemed like the most direct place to add it.
I'm open to other suggestions as well.

Illustration of shell sessions or terminals should use shell-session.
Entire expressions should be encapsulated in code blocks, not inline code.

add note on historicity platform encoding
...
there have been discussions around migrating the platform description to a more structured representation like an attribute set (cannot find relevant issue for reference right now), and it is worth noting that this string encoding is fairly arbitrary.
