also fix typos

Valentin Gagarin d8bfeda164 document identifier syntax for attribute sets
it's more likely for readers to find it right there.

this also slightly rewords examples to make them stand out better.
in the long run there probably needs to be a dedicated section on formal syntax, and better highlighting of examples.

allows for more details on each operator.

this change a purely mechanical transformation, without changing any contents.

Valentin Gagarin 499ed26508 manual: remove "Writing Nix Expressions" chapter
it is out of date, all over the place in level of detail, is really
about `nixpkgs`, and in general instructions should not be part of
a reference manual.

also:
- update redirects and internal links
- use "Nix language" consistently
