sterni 811fff2d8b feat(nix/buildManPages): infra for generating man page dirs from nix
Very simple builder which builds (optionally) gzipped man pages from a
list of attrsets and links them into a common man directory with the
correct layout, so it should be installable immediately.

Additionally runs mandoc -T lint, but by default only for informational
purposes as it is very strict and some things are almost never true (for
example all Xrs being present in the respective directory).

buildManPages.single exposes the internal builder for a single,
optionally gzipped man page from a nix attrset.
