2023-01-22primop: add readFileType, optimize readDirAlex Ameen
Allows checking directory entry type of a single file/directory. This was added to optimize the use of `builtins.readDir` on some filesystems and operating systems which cannot detect this information using POSIX's `readdir`. Previously `builtins.readDir` would eagerly use system calls to lookup these filetypes using other interfaces; this change makes these operations lazy in the attribute values for each file with application of `builtins.readFileType`.

2023-01-10doc/manual: Introduce @docroot@ as a stable base for includable snippetsRobert Hensing
This way the links are clearly within the manual (ie not absolute paths), while allowing snippets to reference the documentation root reliably, regardless of at which base url they're included.
2023-01-10manual: Check linksRobert Hensing
mdbook-linkcheck is not consistent about its warning setting. It disables some warnings, but not the warnings about lack of fragment checking support; hence the extra filtering.
