  1. groff: set "operating system" for mdoc pages

    Prior to this change, man pages from Nixpkgs written using the mdoc(7)
    macros would start like this:
    
        NC(1)                   BSD General Commands Manual                   NC(1)
    
    and end like this:
    
        BSD                          December 27, 2018                          BSD
    
    No matter what operating system they were run on.
    
    It's far more accurate to say "Nixpkgs General Commands Manual", so
    with this patch we configure groff to do just that.  The variable is
    called "operating-system", but I think it makes more sense to say
    "Nixpkgs" than "NixOS" or something, because packages from Nixpkgs can
    run on lots of operating systems, and the important thing is that the
    package is from Nixpkgs.
