Title: Moved Content in Coding Conventions
Summary
The sections within the 'Coding Conventions' chapter, including syntax, package naming, file organization, versioning, fetching sources, obtaining source hashes (securely), patches, package tests (inline, larger, running, examples), linking NixOS module tests, and import from derivation, have all been moved to external documents such as CONTRIBUTING.md and pkgs/README.md. The original document now serves as a pointer to these resources.
