extract reference documentation on remote builds (#9526)

Browse source 
- move all reference documentation to the `builders` configuration setting
- reword documentation on machine specification, add examples
- disable showing the default value, as it rendered as `@/dummy/machines`, which is wrong
- highlight the examples
- link to the configuration docs for distributed builds
- builder -> build machine

In order to build Nix for a different platform than the one you're currently
on, you need a way for your current Nix installation to build code for that
platform. Common solutions include [remote builders] and [binary format emulation]
platform. Common solutions include [remote build machines] and [binary format emulation]
(only supported on NixOS).
[remote builders]: ../advanced-topics/distributed-builds.md
[remote builders]: @docroot@/language/derivations.md#attr-builder
[binary format emulation]: https://nixos.org/manual/nixos/stable/options.html#opt-boot.binfmt.emulatedSystems
Given such a setup, executing the build only requires selecting the respective attribute.
