Commit 8537cf0f81
("CONTRIBUTING.md: suggest "nixos/<module>" prefix for NixOS changes")
only changed CONTRIBUTING.md file and forgot about the Nixpkgs manual.
(I didn't know this information was stored in two places.)

Bas van Dijk b4ea459eab haskell: introduce failOnAllWarnings
Applying `haskell.lib.failOnAllWarnings` to a Haskell package enables the
`-Wall` and `-Werror` GHC options to turn all warnings into build failures.

Frederik Rietdijk 345b35c48a Python: add buildPythonPackage.overridePythonPackage method.
This allows one to always override the call to `buildPythonPackage`.

In the following example we create an environment where we have the `blaze` package using an older version of `pandas`. We override first the Python interpreter and pass `packageOverrides` which contains the overrides for packages in
the package set.

```
with import <nixpkgs> {};

(let
  python = let
    packageOverrides = self: super: {
      pandas = super.pandas.overridePythonPackage(old: rec {
        version = "0.19.1";
        name = "pandas-${version}";
        src =  super.fetchPypi {
          pname = "pandas";
          inherit version;
          sha256 = "08blshqj9zj1wyjhhw3kl2vas75vhhicvv72flvf1z3jvapgw295";
        };
      });
    };
  in pkgs.python3.override {inherit packageOverrides;};

in python.withPackages(ps: [ps.blaze])).env
```

nonsequitur f37972588d ruby docs: fix text and example (#28006)
1. 'wrapper' has been renamed to 'wrappedRuby', so use this instead.
2. mkDerivation isn't called with a 'src' attribute, so skip the 'unpackPhase' to avoid an error.
3. Simplify the build command. 'mkdir' and 'patchShebangs' don't need to be called explicitly.

Alexey Lebedeff 7723d9935f fzf: add script for finding 'share' folder
So that helper scripts can be easily sourced in interactive shell
configuration. `autojump` package was already present and had the same
requirements for findind a `share` folders, so I took an inspiration
there.

I beleive this is a better alternative to:
- https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/25080
- https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/27058

Replacing `$out/share/shell` with `$bin/share/fzf` was necessary to
prevent dependency loop in produced derivations.

I've seen that mistake at least a few times already, e.g.

It might perhaps seem counter-intuitive if one doesn't know nixpkgs well.

manual: add "declarative package management" section
This section gives some details on how to setup an "environment"
without having to go through NixOS (although it could be used there
too). I’ve tried to make it straightforward and have a kind of
"tutorial" feel. Not sure if that’s appropriate for the manual, so any
recommended changes would be helpful.

manual: add "Emacs" section to manual
This gives some basics on configuring Emacs within Nix. The
configuration is fairly long just to give a good idea of what’s going
on. I can trim out some of it if it’s not necessary. Note that there
is already a section for Emacs in the NixOS manual. However, this is
aimed at avoiding using modules altogether to make things easier for
non-NixOS users. This configuration should work on NixOS anyway,
however.
