Relative, local git repo used to work (for submodules), but it
fails after 3e0129ce3b.
This commit adds a test to prevent such failure in the future.

This leads to confusion about what the command does.

- Move the description up
- Remove details about the individual formatters

I'd messed up a rebase in my previous iteration, causing `weakly_canonical` to reappear,
but not trigger a test failure.
These two functions behave similarly when the argument is a path that points to a broken
symlink. `weakly_canonical` would not resolve it because the target doesn't exist, and
`makeParentCanonical` would not resolve it, because it never resolves the final path
element.
This new test case now also tests a valid symlink, "differentiating" the two.

tests/functional/help.sh calls nix-* commands with option --help
if nix is built without documentation the option --help throws an error
because the man page it wants to display is missing

Before this change, expressions like:
with import <nixpkgs> {};
runCommand "foo" {} ''
echo '@nix {}' >&$NIX_LOG_FD
''
would result in Lix crashing, because accessing nonexistent fields of
a JSON object throws an exception.
Rather than handling each field individually, we just catch JSON
exceptions wholesale. Since these log messages are an unusual
circumstance, log a warning when this happens.
Fixes#544.

It seems that I copied the expression for baseDir thoughtlessly and
did not come back to it.
- `baseDir` was only used in the `fromArgs` branch.
- `fromArgs` is true when `packages` is true.

This overall seems like insecure tmp file handling to me. Because other
users could replace files in /tmp with a symlink and make the nix-shell
override other files.

On macOS, `mkdir("x/')` behaves differently than `mkdir("x")` if `x` is
a dangling symlink (the formed succeed while the latter fails). So make
sure we always strip the trailing slash.

* docs: unify documentation on search paths
- put all the information on search path semantics into `builtins.findFile`
- put all the information on determining the value of `builtins.nixPath` into the
`nix-path` setting
maybe `builtins.nixPath` is a better place for this, but those bits
can still be moved around now that it's all next to each other.
- link to the syntax page for lookup paths from all places that are
concerned with it
- add or clarify examples
- add a test verifying a claim from documentation
Meson uses a venerable GNU convention described in
https://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/html_node/Scripts_002dbased-Testsuites.html
in which:
> When no test protocol is in use, an exit status of 0 from a test
> script will denote a success, an exit status of 77 a skipped test, an
> exit status of 99 a hard error, and any other exit status will denote
> a failure.
77 is thus what we want, not 99.
