add cross-references to nix-path overriding (#11288)

* add cross-references to `nix-path` overriding

while this information is already present in the settings, it's more
likely to be first accessed through the "lookup path" page, which
currently requires following two links to get to the practically
important bits.

A lookup path is an identifier with an optional path suffix that resolves to a [path value](@docroot@/language/types.md#type-path) if the identifier matches a search path entry. A lookup path is an identifier with an optional path suffix that resolves to a [path value](@docroot@/language/types.md#type-path) if the identifier matches a search path entry in [`builtins.nixPath`](@docroot@/language/builtins.md#builtins-nixPath).
The algorithm for lookup path resolution is described in the documentation on [`builtins.findFile`](@docroot@/language/builtins.md#builtins-findFile).
The value of a lookup path is determined by [`builtins.nixPath`](@docroot@/language/builtins.md#builtins-nixPath).
See [`builtins.findFile`](@docroot@/language/builtins.md#builtins-findFile) for details on lookup path resolution.
