Motivation:
See the linked issues for details.
The most notable user-relevant bits are:
- This cleans up the `MountedSSHStore`: decomposed into its orthogonal parts
- This brings us pretty close to being able to then implement a JSON-based config.
- Store query parameters can be JSON
- Stores can entirely be specified via JSON objects, but this is not yet hooked up to anything.
Also behind the scenes have these benefits:
1. The docs are moved out of the headers, good for less rebuilding when they changes
2. Stores are always constructed from store configs
3. Use JSON, avoid custom serializers

As summarized in
https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/77#issuecomment-2843228280 the
motivation is that the complicated retry logic this introduced was
making the cleanup task #12628 harder to accomplish. It was not easy to
ascertain just what policy / semantics the extra control-flow was
implementing, in order to figure out a different way to implementing it
either.
After talking to Eelco about it, he decided we could just....get rid of
the feature entirely! It's a bit scary removing a decade+ old feature,
but I think he is right. See the release notes for more explanation.
This reverts commit 299141ecbd.

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
