This flag is useful to force Nix to re-fetch cached flakes. Without it,
you cannot deploy from a non-local flake in quick succession, since the
caching causes the flake to not be re-fetched.
When building from a flake, `nix build` hides the build output by
default, with a `-L`/`--print-build-logs` option to show it. Pass this
option along from `home-manager` if the user provides it.

This allows running home-manager with --builders option passed through
to nix-build, which will then pass build execution to remote builders on
other machines.
This may be useful with relatively complex home-manager configurations
where building on a local machine is not feasible.
It can be useful to simply instantiate a Home Manager configuration
without actually building it, for example for the purpose of
pre-building it with some custom command.
PR #1099
This rewrite allows "long options" but unfortunately does not allow
merged options such as `-vn`.
Also improve the home-manager manual page, with this it should include
all sub-commands and arguments.
Finally, include the home-manager manual page in the generated HTML
documentation.
