Daniel Sidhion 0decb324b3 doc: improve fetchers overview, deduplicate readme content, follow doc conventions (#297654)
* doc: improve fetchers overview, deduplicate readme content

* Improve caveat explanation and some fetchurl content

* move out consumer docs on source fetching

* move note on mirror URLs to the relevant section

this may be better suited for the `fetchurl` reference, but it's probably better to
just render that information into the manual. for now, because
- contributor documentation encourages mirrors
- we can expect contributors to dig into the source
- linking source files is trivial in in-code documentation
we leave it there.

* move instructions for updating hashes to the manual

* Add more clarity on text, reorganise source hash methods
