Fixes #3396.
2020-03-13style.css: RemoveEelco Dolstra
This file is licensed under the GPL. Originally, Nix was also GPL-licensed so that was fine. However, we later changed the license to the LGPL but missed the fact that style.css has an incompatible license. Since the Nix manual at nixos.org uses its own styling, we can remove this file. Fixes #3392.

2020-02-15doc: mention how to turn on pure evaluation mode in manualBenjamin Hipple
The flag is `--pure-eval`, which can be found by looking at the test suite; it should be in the notes describing the feature as well, since otherwise users may assume this is referencing something like `nix-shell --pure`.

2020-01-14doc: touchup release notes for 2.3Benjamin Hipple
- At the top of the release notes, we announce sandboxing is now enabled by default, then at the bottom it says it's now disabled when missing kernel support. These can be merged into one point for clarity. - The point about `max-jobs` defaulting to 1 appears unrelated to sandboxing.

The `post-build-hook` text currently appears in the index, but not on the actual title line of the section, this follows the pattern used in a previous section to get a reference into a title.

Remove superfluous IAM action for S3 cache
2019-10-22Remove superfluous IAM action for S3 cacheChaz Schlarp
`s3:ListObjects` isn't a real IAM action, but _is_ the name of an S3 API method. `s3:ListBucket` is the relevant action for that method. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/list_amazons3.html

2019-09-11docs: Use the explicit ref for fetchGit with a tagJulien Tanguy
With the merge of #2582, the syntax "tags/1.9" for refs does not work anymore. However, the new syntax "refs/tags/1.9" seems to support annotated tags, such as "refs/tags/2.0". Closes #2385.
