Before this change `man 5 configuration.nix` would only show options of modules in the `baseModules` set, which consists only of the list of modules in `nixos/modules/module-list.nix` With this change applied and `documentation.nixos.includeAllModules` option enabled all modules included in `configuration.nix` file will be used instead. This makes configurations with custom modules self-documenting. It also means that importing non-`baseModules` modules like `gce.nix` or `azure.nix` will make their documentation available in `man 5 configuration.nix`. `documentation.nixos.includeAllModules` is currently set to `false` by default as enabling it usually uncovers bugs and prevents evaluation. It should be set to `true` in a release or two. This was originally implemented in #47177, edited for more configurability, documented and rebased onto master by @oxij.wip/yesman
