Bot-based backport to release-24.11, triggered by a label in #355685.

  • Before merging, ensure that this backport is acceptable for the release.
    • Even as a non-commiter, if you find that it is not acceptable, leave a comment.

Some important ones like fetchLFS were missing. See
https://discourse.nixos.org/t/how-to-use-git-lfs-with-fetchgit/55975 for a
documented instance where this confused a user.

This still isn't complete but the remaining ones I felt were rather niche and I
am not familiar enough with them to sufficiently document their purpose or
usage.

(cherry picked from commit 1712d71)
Many parameters added over the past many years were not documented in the
manual. People likely simple didn't think to do that, so let's nudge them.
