94c0e08808 submitting-changes.chapter.md: explain that purple arrows are manual
The documentation for this diagram explains that the blue arrows are
automatic processes which happen every six hours.  There is no
explanation about how the purple arrows happen or how often.

As a new contributor to nixpkgs, I incorrectly assumed that the purple
arrows were also automatic processes (they aren't), which left me sort
of confused about what the whole scheme was accomplishing.

Recently I went through the github history to see how often these
events happen, and realized that the purple arrows are (a) triggered
manually by a nixpkgs project member and (b) happen much, much, much
less frequently than every six hours.

Now everything makes a lot more sense.  I suggest the wording change
in this commit, or something similar, to save future contributors the
same confusion that I experienced.

Phases are cool, I get it, but the reader will enjoy it when they
see it. And they'll see it sooner if they don't have to read about
it.

daca830722 doc/coding-conventions: Fix version attribute suffix to match reality
The current doc is wildly out of touch with reality. A regex search shows
the following stats.

```
Style example  Frequency  Regex used
nix-2-5:            8     [a-zA-Z]-[0-9]+(-[0-9]+)+ =
nix-2_5:           17     [a-zA-Z]-[0-9]+(_[0-9]+)+ =
nix_2_5:          689     [a-zA-Z]_[0-9]+(_[0-9]+)+ =
nix_2-5:            1     [a-zA-Z]_[0-9]+(-[0-9]+)+ =

mkShell: make it buildable ()
When I designed `mkShell`, I didn't have a good idea of what the output
should look like and so decided to make the build fail. In practice,
this causes quite a bit of confusion and complications because now the
shell cannot be part of a normal package set without failing the CI as
well.

This commit changes that build phase to record all the build inputs in a
file. That way it becomes possible to build it, makes sure that all the
build inputs get built as well, and also can be used as a GC root.
(by applying the same trick as ).

The documentation has also been improved to better describe what mkShell
does and how to use it.
