manual: Contributing -> Development, Hacking -> Building (#9014)

Browse source 
* manual: Contributing -> Development, Hacking -> Building

what's currently called "hacking" are really instructions for setting up
a development environment and compiling from source. we have
a contribution guide in the repo (which rightly focuses on GitHub
workflows), and the material in the manual is more about working
on the code itself.

since we'd otherwise have three headings that amount to "Building Nix",
this change also moves the "classic Nix" instructions to the top.

we may want to reorganise this in the future, and bring
contributor-oriented information closer to the code, but for now let's
stick to more accurate names to ease navigation.

* The **`nix` command** has seen a lot of work and is now almost at
feature parity with the old command-line interface (the `nix-*`
commands). It aims to be [more modern, consistent and pleasant to
use](../contributing/cli-guideline.md) than the old CLI. It is still
use](../development/cli-guideline.md) than the old CLI. It is still
marked as experimental but its interface should not change much
