Unfortunately there are some regressions in the GPU code that cause
Chromium and Google Chrome to crash, e.g.:

Hopefully this'll be fixed upstream before the final release (there are
bug reports for it) but for the meantime we have to launch the beta and
dev versions with "--use-gl=angle --use-angle=swiftshader".
New release, the main feature is updating to GTK4 and significant updates to the internal processing pipelines.
Many dependencies no longer seem to be required, I have manually checked that mentioned plugins are still available.
mkEnableOption already adds "Whether to enable" and ends with a ".", so
remove that duplication from the help text.
Also reword it slightly while at it.
Logically re-apply 64c70a8c4c ("doc: point out that nixos-21.05 has gnuradio
3.9"), because it was lost in the conversion from docbook to markdown, in
commit 32c2dd304d ("docs: nixos release notes to CommonMark (2105)").
(Apparently we have both .md and .xml release notes now, and CI fails
unless they have the same content (after .md processing), so update the
.xml file to match...)
Logically re-apply 7afaacf9a8 ("doc: fix link to kodi-19.0 announcement"),
because it was lost in the conversion from docbook to markdown, in commit
32c2dd304d ("docs: nixos release notes to CommonMark (2105)").
(Hm, apparently we have *both* docbook and markdown? CI failed before I
updated the .xml file.)
