This re-introduces the old stable ZFS version we had in the past following
the many predicted issues of ZFS 2.2.x series, that is much more stable
than any further ZFS version at the moment.
I am also removing myself from maintenance of any further ZFS versions as I am
planning to quit ZFS maintenance at some point.
In the meantime, for users like me who depend on ZFS for critical operations, here is a ZFS version
that is known to work for LTS kernels.
The Nixpkgs documentation on the linux kernel builders focused on
using and extending kernels that were already packaged, but never
mentioned that it's possible to also build a kernel almost "from
scratch".
The NixOS documentation went a bit deeper on manual linux kernel
configs, but that information wasn't particularly NixOS-specific.
This commit consolidates the information related to building the
kernel on Nixpkgs's documentation, while keeping any additional
NixOS-specific information on NixOS's documentation.
An additional README.md was created for contributor-facing
documentation.

stdenv.targetPlatform really shouldn't be used by software that
doesn't generate or manipulate binaries. I reviewed all uses of
targetPlatform outside of pkgs/development/compilers and pkgs/stdenv
and replaced those which weren't involved in something which fits
these criteria.
tags not updated since 2019. updating to last commit puts nixpkgs on par
with debian/ubuntu/Devuan/Kali distributions.
update homepage to github (same as debian) as old page
https://codemonkey.org.uk/projects/trinity/ is not reachable.
