nixos/manual: remove md-to-db
with manual chapters no longer needing pandoc for their conversion to
xml we can get rid of this source of confusion, and its huge cache of
xml files.

-  <section xml:id="sec-release-17.09-highlights">
-    <title>Highlights</title>
-    <para>
-      In addition to numerous new and upgraded packages, this release
-      has the following highlights:
-    </para>
-    <itemizedlist>
-      <listitem>
-        <para>
-          The GNOME version is now 3.24. KDE Plasma was upgraded to
-          5.10, KDE Applications to 17.08.1 and KDE Frameworks to 5.37.
-        </para>
-      </listitem>
-      <listitem>
-        <para>
-          The user handling now keeps track of deallocated UIDs/GIDs.
-          When a user or group is revived, this allows it to be
-          allocated the UID/GID it had before. A consequence is that
-          UIDs and GIDs are no longer reused.
-        </para>
-      </listitem>
-      <listitem>
-        <para>
-          The module option
-          <literal>services.xserver.xrandrHeads</literal> now causes the
-          first head specified in this list to be set as the primary
-          head. Apart from that, it’s now possible to also set
-          additional options by using an attribute set, for example:
-        </para>
-        <programlisting language="nix">
-{ services.xserver.xrandrHeads = [
-    &quot;HDMI-0&quot;
-    {
-      output = &quot;DVI-0&quot;;
-      primary = true;
-      monitorConfig = ''
-        Option &quot;Rotate&quot; &quot;right&quot;
-      '';
-    }
-  ];
-}
-</programlisting>
-        <para>
-          This will set the <literal>DVI-0</literal> output to be the
-          primary head, even though <literal>HDMI-0</literal> is the
-          first head in the list.
-        </para>
-      </listitem>
-      <listitem>
-        <para>
-          The handling of SSL in the <literal>services.nginx</literal>
-          module has been cleaned up, renaming the misnamed
-          <literal>enableSSL</literal> to <literal>onlySSL</literal>
-          which reflects its original intention. This is not to be used
-          with the already existing <literal>forceSSL</literal> which
-          creates a second non-SSL virtual host redirecting to the SSL
-          virtual host. This by chance had worked earlier due to
-          specific implementation details. In case you had specified
-          both please remove the <literal>enableSSL</literal> option to
-          keep the previous behaviour.
-        </para>
-        <para>
-          Another <literal>addSSL</literal> option has been introduced
-          to configure both a non-SSL virtual host and an SSL virtual
-          host with the same configuration.
-        </para>
-        <para>
-          Options to configure <literal>resolver</literal> options and
-          <literal>upstream</literal> blocks have been introduced. See
-          their information for further details.
-        </para>
-        <para>
-          The <literal>port</literal> option has been replaced by a more
-          generic <literal>listen</literal> option which makes it
-          possible to specify multiple addresses, ports and SSL configs
-          dependant on the new SSL handling mentioned above.
-        </para>
