* home-environment: add `home.sessionVariablesPackage`
Allow the `hm-session-vars.sh` derivation to be referenced from other
modules, e.g. to translate it to fish with babelfish at build time.
* fish: use babelfish for `hm-session-vars.sh`
Translate `hm-session-vars.sh` to fish at system build time,
significantly decreasing shell startup time.

* PR_TEMPLATE: Note nix3 test method in checklist
Allows for running with the `nixpkgs` from the lock file, as well as
using a more familiar interface for users of the experimental CLI, which
would've avoided me opening #3971.
Also updates the corresponding note in `docs/contributing.adoc` to have
the correct invocation path.
* PR_TEMPLATE: `the experimental CLI` -> `Flakes`
The link to the Nix RFC 42 is invalid. Replace this with a valid link to the
upstream NixOS/rfcs repo, pinning it to the commit that introduced the RFC.
The init command is essentially the old install script but integrated
into the home-manager tool. This simplifies things slightly since we
can use the existing code infrastructure.
The init command is Nix flake aware in the sense that, if we detect
that the user's Nix setup supports flakes, then we also create an
initial `flake.nix` file.
Finally, we update the installation instructions for the Nix flakes
standalone setup to use the new init command.

This changes the default configuration location for Home Manager
configurations from
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/nixpkgs
to
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/home-manager
The old location is still supported but using it will trigger a
warning message.
Fixes#3640
Install home-manager via `nix run` rather than `nix-build` then running
the activation script out of the store manually.

Internally we already managed them per-profile but exposed a global
option to maintain backwards compatibility. The benefit to having
per-profile extensions is quite large though, so it is time to switch.
Users of the global extensions option will get an error message that
indicates how to edit their configuration to work again.
This flag is useful to force Nix to re-fetch cached flakes. Without it,
you cannot deploy from a non-local flake in quick succession, since the
caching causes the flake to not be re-fetched.
- Fix paragraphs in option field texts containing Markdown.
- Fix generation of documentation for options with Markdown in
multiple fields.
- Support AsciiDoc in module option documentation.
When building from a flake, `nix build` hides the build output by
default, with a `-L`/`--print-build-logs` option to show it. Pass this
option along from `home-manager` if the user provides it.

* flake: Expose tests to allow running purely
The existing way to run tests with `nix-shell` relies on impure usage of
`<nixpkgs>`. This can lead to failures when the local nixpkgs is
incompatible with the locked one. I.e., where CI is passing but a
contributor may experience a failure.
So, expose tests as `devShells.tests` to use the locked nixpkgs and
allow easy invocation via `nix develop`.
* tests: Remove impure path
With Nix 2.10+ and pure evaluation mode e.g.
```
nix run nixpkgs/nixos-unstable#nixVersions.nix_2_10 -- develop -i .#tests.zplug-modules
```
this test would fail with:
> error: the path '~/.customZplugHome' can not be resolved in pure mode
Since the test only cares that it is a path, rather than anything about
its contents, use a dummy empty directory.
Starting with state version 22.11 we completely reset the PATH
variable in the activation script. This is to avoid impurities and
unexpected results if the activation script accidentally uses a
command found in the user's PATH.
