Erik Arvstedt 931b7b47a2 nixos tests doc: minor fixes
This fixes some quirks I introduced in previous commits.

1. No need for an extra newline when printing the output of shell commands.
2. 'or die' is what's already used in the NixOS test sources, while
   'die unless' has no occurrences.

Jan Malakhovski fe744d3fb1 nixos: doc: rename manual to manualHTML, cleanup references
Because when I see "config.system.build.manual.manual" after I forgot
what it means I ask "Why do I need that second `.manual` there again?".
Doesn't happen with `config.system.build.manual.manualHTML`.

Erik Arvstedt b0956b0ae3 nixos tests doc: fix example statement
False statements don't cause NixOS tests to fail, we need to throw an
exception or terminate.

Matthew Harm Bekkema a6c7132abc doc: change git:// links to https:// (#44395)
The server is not verified over the git:// transfer protocol. If you
clone a repository over git://, you should check if the latest commit's
hash is correct.

On the other hand, https:// will always verify the server automatically,
using certificate authorities.

Tuomas Tynkkynen 96190535e5 Revert "nixos: rename system.{stateVersion,defaultChannel} -> system.nixos.\1"
This reverts commit 095fe5b43d.

Pointless renames considered harmful. All they do is force people to
spend extra work updating their configs for no benefit, and hindering
the ability to switch between unstable and stable versions of NixOS.

Like, what was the value of having the "nixos." there? I mean, by
definition anything in a NixOS module has something to do with NixOS...

nixos-install: Make compatible with Nix 2.0
The use of Nix 2.0 significantly simplifies the installer, since we
can just pass a different store URI (--store /mnt) - it's no longer
needed to set up a chroot environment for the build, and to bootstrap
Nix into the chroot.

Also, commands that need to run in the installation (namely boot
loader installation and setting a root password) are now executed
using nixos-enter.

This also removes the need for nixos-prepare-root since any required
initialisation is done by Nix or by the activation script.

Thomas Bach 4d101993bf manual: reworked submodule section for better readability
The section was strange to read, as the initial example already used
`listOf' which is mentioned in the very first paragraph. Then you read
in a subsection about `listOf' and the exact same example is given
once again.

doc: clarify building-nixos CD/DVD instructions
This change updates the instructions for building a NixOS ISO so that it's clear how to do it.

Previously, the instructions stated to set NIXOS_CONFIG prior to running `nix-build`, yet the example provided by-passed NIXOS_CONFIG anyway. But the *really* important missing piece is the need for nixos/default.nix. See #21840.

This change removes the NIXOS_CONFIG verbiage, and adds steps to clone nixpkgs and (most importantly) cd'ing into nixpkgs/nixos. That way, the reader may think: *Oh, so I need a default.nix and a configuration.nix. Ahhh, OK.*

I purposely added the redundant default.nix argument.
