Motivation for this change

Part of #49783. NextCloud tracks in its config.php the application's
state which makes it hard for the module to modify configurations during
upgrades.

It will take time until the issue is properly fixed, therefore we
decided to warn about this in the manual.

This PR addresses two things:

  • Adding a basic example for nextcloud. I figured it to be helpful to
    add some basic usage instructions when adding a new manual entry.
    Advanced documentation may follow later.

    For now this document actively links to the service options, so users
    are guided to the remaining options that can be helpful in certain
    cases.

  • Add a warning about upgrades and manual changes in
    /var/lib/nextcloud. This will be fixed in the future, but it's
    definetely helpful to document the current issues in the manual (as
    proposed in nextcloud module: changing config doesn't propagate to the module #49783 (comment)).

Things done
  • Tested using sandboxing (nix.useSandbox on NixOS, or option sandbox in nix.conf on non-NixOS)
  • Built on platform(s)
    • NixOS
    • macOS
    • other Linux distributions
  • Tested via one or more NixOS test(s) if existing and applicable for the change (look inside nixos/tests)
  • Tested compilation of all pkgs that depend on this change using nix-shell -p nox --run "nox-review wip"
  • Tested execution of all binary files (usually in ./result/bin/)
  • Determined the impact on package closure size (by running nix path-info -S before and after)
  • Assured whether relevant documentation is up to date
  • Fits CONTRIBUTING.md.

Wow, nice work! Now I'm sad not to have waited for it to setup my own nextcloud instance, it would have made things easier :p
