This renders the rl-next notes when `officialRelease = false`, which
corresponds to the case where we're not on a release branch.
Previously we had disabled this behavior because changelog-d is
somewhat of a heavy dependency, being the only Haskell package.
However, we now have new circumstances that topple the tradeoff.
- We render `master` docs to https://nix.dev/manual/nix/development/release-notes/rl-next.html
- `.#manual` is a separate build now, so `nix build nix/foo` is
not affected by the increased closure of build input outputs.
Because of these factors, I believe adding this functionality back
is more valuable, as we can use it to
- Previous release notes
- Showcase the upcoming release to the community
This makes `nix.version` quicker to evaluate, which should speed up
package listing operations.
If you want an accurate count, use `lib.optionals` in your override
instead of `null` values.
This ensures just `nix build`-ing the flake doesn't forget to run all
tests. One can still specifiy specific attributes to just build one
thing.

As discussed in our meeting, we should use a simplified version for the
libraries without the date or commit hash. This will make rebuilding a
lot faster in many cases.

They are not actually part of the store layer, but instead part of the
Nix executable infra (libraries don't need plugins, executables do).
This is part of a larger project of moving all of our legacy settings
infra to libmain, and having the underlying libraries just have plain
configuration structs detached from any settings infra / UI layer.
Progress on #5638
This avoids polluting nixComponents with things that aren't our
components.
Fixes the extraction of passthru tests, which failed for boehmgc
which had many irrelevant ones anyway.
