Add some form of Nix Language reference #7259

Description

@enderger

Introduce your stance
Currently, the documentation for the Nix Language is scattered across several manuals, with the main library functions in a non-searchable layout separate from the bultins.

Describe the issue
Currently, the reference material for the Nix Language is scattered across the manuals in a strongly inconvenient way. The language needs it's own documentation, preferably in the style of Clojuredocs and the Rust Documentation.

Additional context
I am currently working on a Nix-based project and have found the language's documentation hard to navigate and use.
