doc: use sri hash syntax
The nixpkgs manual contains references to both sri hash and explicit
sha256 attributes. This is at best confusing to new users. Since the
final destination is exclusive use of sri hashes, see nixos/rfcs#131,
might as well push new users in that direction gently.

Notable exceptions to sri hash support are builtins.fetchTarball,
cataclysm-dda, coq, dockerTools.pullimage, elixir.override, and
fetchCrate. None, other than builtins.fetchTarball, are fundamentally
incompatible, but all currently accept explicit sha256 attributes as
input. Because adding backwards compatibility is out of scope for this
change, they have been left intact, but migration to sri format has been
made for any using old hash formats.

All hashes have been manually tested to be accurate, and updates were
only made for missing upstream artefacts or bugs.

Refresh the Ocaml package examples; document useDune2 (#127520)
The current example in the manual no longer builds, mainly because
`useDune2 = true` is required, but also because the inputs have changed.
The new examples are copied verbatim from nixpkgs.

doc: add function argument order convention (#110060)
* doc: add function argument order convention

Ordering by usage is the de facto ordering given to arguments. It's
logical, and makes finding argument usage easier. Putting lib first is
common in NixOS modules, so it's reasonable to mirror this in nixpkgs
proper. Additionally, it's not a package as such, has zero dependencies,
and can be found used anywhere in a derivation.

Profpatsch b0c1583a0b doc: stdenv.lib -> lib
Part of: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/108938

Changing the documentation to not refer to stdenv.lib is the first
step to make people use it directly.
