this mirrors a change in the nixpkgs definition: the nix-update script
has a hardcoded list of attributes it will update. We can re-use one of
them to make it update mattermost's web frontend at the same time as it
updates mattermost itself.
The list of attribute names is here:

this copies the current mattermost package definition from upstream
nixpkgs into our repo as-is (that definition itself being a modified
version of our definition that I upstreamed recently).
Since apparently no one else is maintaining the nixpkgs package and I am
apparently maintaining a mattermost package mostly on my own anyways,
this should make upstreaming future changes easier.
This jumps Mattermost ESR Versions (see [1] for their release cycle). The
new version makes use of Go's workspace feature, which unfortunately the
buildGoModule function does not (yet?) support [2], and unfortunately this
breaks the previous build process for mattermost.
Further, the new release also makes use of private modules only included
in the (non-free) enterprise version of mattermost which makes it impossible
to build in the usual way even outside of nixpkgs's build abstractions [3].
Both issues can be solved by using Go 1.22, which has added support for
vendoring when using workspaces, and instructing it to ignore errors with
the -e flag. This requires overriding the go-modules derivation's buildPhase.
Finally, this now also build the commands/mmctl subpackage, which contains
a cli utility to administrate mattermost. This currently has its own nixpkgs
package for no reason i can see at all (it also has a version mismatch
between nixpkgs's mattermost and nixpkgs's mmctl).

we decided to:
- get rid of unused packages
- simpify the directory layout since we only have one host anyways
- move our docs (such as they are) in-tree
