Adds a NixOS module which allows using mandoc as the main manual viewer. It can be used as a drop-in replacement for documentation.man which relies on GNU's man-db and provides more or less the same features. The generateCaches option requires a different implementation for mandoc, so it is hard to share code between the two modules -- hence it has been implemented separately. Using both at the same time makes little sense and wouldn't quite work, so there's an assertion to prevent it. To make makewhatis(8) index manual pages which are symlinks to the nix store, we need to set READ_ALLOWED_PATH to include `builtins.storeDir`.
