manual: remove "Writing Nix Expressions" chapter
it is out of date, all over the place in level of detail, is really about `nixpkgs`, and in general instructions should not be part of a reference manual. also: - update redirects and internal links - use "Nix language" consistently

-# Built-in Functions
-
-This section lists the functions built into the Nix expression
-evaluator. (The built-in function `derivation` is discussed above.)
-Some built-ins, such as `derivation`, are always in scope of every Nix
-expression; you can just access them right away. But to prevent
-polluting the namespace too much, most built-ins are not in
-scope. Instead, you can access them through the `builtins` built-in
-value, which is a set that contains all built-in functions and values.
-For instance, `derivation` is also available as `builtins.derivation`.
