Mark experimental configuration settings programmatically #8162

Description

Problem

Descriptions of experimental settings need the information on "experimentality" baked into the documentation, but this is double book keeping.

Example:

nix/src/libstore/globals.hh

Lines 351 to 359 in d93c151

> **Warning**
> This is an experimental feature.
To enable it, add the following to [`nix.conf`](#):
```
extra-experimental-features = cgroups
use-cgroups = true
```

Given we merge #7798, that information can be displayed automatically, and removed without maintainer intervention if the feature becomes stable. It would also allow more convenient control over presentation, ensuring it will be consistent.
