* doc: add function argument order convention
Ordering by usage is the de facto ordering given to arguments. It's
logical, and makes finding argument usage easier. Putting lib first is
common in NixOS modules, so it's reasonable to mirror this in nixpkgs
proper. Additionally, it's not a package as such, has zero dependencies,
and can be found used anywhere in a derivation.
* doc: clean up usage of lib
I think we should have something in the manual people can point to
about this, to avoid rehashing it over and over in PRs. "stdenv.lib"
makes it look like lib is part of stdenv, which it isn't, and makes it
even more confusing as a newcomer to figure out what stdenv is (and
isn't).
androidenv did not previously write license files, which caused certain
gradle-based Android tools to fail. Restructure androidenv's list of
Android packages into a single repo.json file to prevent duplication
and enable us to extract the EULA texts, which we then hash with
builtins.hashString to produce the license files that Android gradle
tools look for.
Remove includeDocs and lldbVersions, as these have been removed
from the Android package repositories.
Improve documentation and examples.
The last snapshot was 4 months ago (2020-08-19). I also found that I needed newer definitions when I was trying to fix the R arrow package.
This update required a couple of manual changes:
1. Removing a few deleted packages from default.nix
2. Renaming the "assert" package to "r_assert" in generate-r-packages.R because "assert" is a keyword in Nix
I used the existing anchors generated by Docbook, so the anchor part
should be a no-op. This could be useful depending on the
infrastructure we choose to use, and it is better to be explicit than
rely on Docbook's id generating algorithms.
I got rid of the metadata segments of the Markdown files, because they
are outdated, inaccurate, and could make people less willing to change
them without speaking with the author.

> They way it's worded says buildInputs are for build-time and nativeBuildInputs are for run-time. The other documentation leads me to believe it is the other way around.
The sectn and ulink hacks are not necessary since pandoc has been defaulting to Docbook 5 for a long time.
With the pandoc patches, we can get rid of id→xml:id replacement and xmlns hacks as well.
