pennae ef176dcf7e nixos/*: automatically convert option descriptions
conversions were done using https://github.com/pennae/nix-doc-munge
using (probably) rev f34e145 running

    nix-doc-munge nixos/**/*.nix
    nix-doc-munge --import nixos/**/*.nix

the tool ensures that only changes that could affect the generated
manual *but don't* are committed, other changes require manual review
and are discarded.

Advanced users can make this a content-addressed derivation to save a few rebuilds.
