Since each such `nixos-*` tool has it's own derivation, exposed in pkgs, There is no point in separating the manuals from the packages. If someone wishes to have the tools without the manuals, they can use meta.outputsToInstall to disable the installation of the manpages of these packages. This Fixes #244450.
