Subject: [PATCH 1/2] nixos-module: Fix potential recursion error between
 home-manager users and nixos users configuration

Pushing users.users.<name>.packages from matching home-manager users leads to a circular dependency when
one attribute set is calculated from the other.
A configuration pull approach replaces the previous one to break up the circular dependency. This new approach
allows more flexibility in configuring both option sets, including calculating from each other.

EXAMPLE;

```nix
{lib, /* custom arg */ flake, config, ...}: {
    home-manager.useUserPackages = true;
    home-manager.users = builtins.intersectAttrs (lib.filterAttrs (_: v: v.isNormalUser) config.users.users) (flake.outputs.homeModules.users);
}
```

EXAMPLE;
```nix
{lib, /* custom arg */ flake, config, ...}: {
    home-manager.useUserPackages = true;
    home-manager.users = { inherit (flake.outputs.homeModules.users) demo-user; };
    users.users = lib.mapAttrs (_: _: { isNormalUser = true; }) (lib.filterAttrs (_: v: v.programs.git.enable) config.home-manager.users);
}
```

fixes #594

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] options-manual: Remove `users` option set from
 documentation

The option declaration `users.users` is owned by the upstream
nixos modules and should not be documented by home-manager.

Home-manager declares an incomplete/partial option definition for
`users.users` that cannot be documented without the full definition from
the nixos modules. This partial definition is removed from the options
set while generating documentation for the home-manager nixos module.
