coqPackages.multinomials: 1.5.2 -> 1.5.4 (#115427)
- This is the first packages which uses Dune in order to build and install
  so I had to refactor build-support/coq/default.nix in order to support it.
- I added a new feature: one can now release.v.sha256 empty to try to download
  with a fake sha256, hence failures are reported and one can copy paste the
  sha256 given by the error message.
- I updated the documentation of languages-frameworks/coq.section.md accordingly.

 * `defaultVersion` (optional). Coq libraries may be compatible with some specific versions of Coq only. The `defaultVersion` attribute is used when no `version` is provided (or if `version = null`) to select the version of the library to use by default, depending on the context. This selection will mainly depend on a `coq` version number but also possibly on other packages versions (e.g. `mathcomp`). If its value ends up to be `null`, the package is marked for removal in end-user `coqPackages` attribute set.
-* `release` (optional, defaults to `{}`), lists all the known releases of the library and for each of them provides an attribute set with at least a `sha256` attribute (you may use the shell command `nix-prefetch-url --unpack <archive-url>` to find it, where `<archive-url>` is for example `https://github.com/owner/repo/archive/version.tar.gz`), each attribute set of the list of releases also takes optional overloading arguments for the fetcher as below (i.e.`domain`, `owner`, `repo`, `rev` assuming the default fetcher is used) and optional overrides for the result of the fetcher (i.e. `version` and `src`).
-* `fetcher` (optional, default to a generic fetching mechanism supporting github or gitlab based infrastructures), is a function that takes at least an `owner`, a `repo`, a `rev`, and a `sha256` and returns an attribute set with a `version` and `src`.

 * `namePrefix` (optional), provides a way to alter the computation of `name` from `pname`, by explaining which dependencies must occur in `name`,
 * `extraBuildInputs` (optional), by default `buildInputs` just contains `coq`, this allows to add more build inputs,
 * `mlPlugin` (optional, defaults to `false`). Some extensions (plugins) might require OCaml and sometimes other OCaml packages. Standard dependencies can be added by setting the current option to `true`. For a finer grain control, the `coq.ocamlPackages` attribute can be used in `extraBuildInputs` to depend on the same package set Coq was built against.
+* `useDune2ifVersion` (optional, default to `(x: false)` uses Dune2 to build the package if the provided predicate evaluates to true on the version, e.g. `useDune2if = versions.isGe "1.1"`  will use dune if the version of the package is greater or equal to `"1.1"`,

 * `enableParallelBuilding` (optional, defaults to `true`), since it is activated by default, we provide a way to disable it.
 * `extraInstallFlags` (optional), allows to extend `installFlags` which initializes the variable `COQMF_COQLIB` so as to install in the proper subdirectory. Indeed Coq libraries should be installed in `$(out)/lib/coq/${coq.coq-version}/user-contrib/`. Such directories are automatically added to the `$COQPATH` environment variable by the hook defined in the Coq derivation.
 * `setCOQBIN` (optional, defaults to `true`), by default, the environment variable `$COQBIN` is set to the current Coq's binary, but one can disable this behavior by setting it to `false`,
