Viktor Kronvall 80ac72bf03 docs: render without deprecated optionsDocBook
The `optionsDocBook` function is deprecated in nixpkgs since
nixos-23.11. This commit updates the manual and manpages to
use commonmark formatted documentation instead of the deprecated
docbook format.

# Nix Flakes {#ch-nix-flakes}
Home Manager is compatible with [Nix
Flakes](https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Flakes). But please be aware that the
support it is still experimental and may change in backwards
incompatible ways.
Just like in the standard installation you can use the Home Manager
flake in three ways:
1. Using the standalone `home-manager` tool. For platforms other than
NixOS and Darwin, this is the only available choice. It is also
recommended for people on NixOS or Darwin that want to manage their
home directory independently of the system as a whole. See
[Standalone setup](#sec-flakes-standalone) for instructions on how
to perform this installation.
2. As a module within a NixOS system configuration. This allows the
user profiles to be built together with the system when running
`nixos-rebuild`. See [NixOS module](#sec-flakes-nixos-module) for a
description of this setup.
3. This allows the user profiles to be built together with the system
when running `darwin-rebuild`. See [nix-darwin
module](#sec-flakes-nix-darwin-module) for a description of this
setup.
