doc: separate manpage URLs from the Pandoc filter
Move the manpage-to-URL mapping to `doc/manpage-urls.json` so that we can
reuse that file elsewhere, and generate the `link-manpages.lua` filter from
that file.

Also modify the Pandoc filter so that it doesn't wrap manpages that are
already inside a link.

Keeping a Lua filter is essential for speed: a Python filter would
increase the runtime `md-to-db.sh` from ~20s to ~30s (but Python is not
to blame; marshalling Pandoc types to and from JSON is a costly operation).
Parsing in Lua seems tedious, so I went with the Nix way.

pennae 9c3c13b50d nixos/make-options-doc: add inline roles for varname/envar
both of these render distinctly from plain literals in the manpage, and
manpages even semantically distinguish between the two.

Jan Tojnar c9139dfa1a doc: Add support for MyST roles
Officially, only the manpage role is supported at the moment.

Unlike in rST, the syntax uses braces instead of colons:

    {manpage}`nix.conf(5)`

doc: prepare for commonmark
We are still using Pandoc’s Markdown parser, which differs from CommonMark spec slightly.

Notably:
- Line breaks in lists behave differently.
- Admonitions do not support the simpler syntax https://github.com/jgm/commonmark-hs/issues/75
- The auto_identifiers uses a different algorithm – I made the previous ones explicit.
- Languages (classes) of code blocks cannot contain whitespace so we have to use “pycon” alias instead of Python “console” as GitHub’s linguist

While at it, I also fixed the following issues:
- ShellSesssion was used
- Removed some pointless docbook tags.
