[bug #68326] [grotty] buffers entire output into memory for unpaginated documents

Follow-up Comment #11, bug #68326 (group groff):

Hi Branden, thanks for looking into this and also chiming in on the NixOS
GitHub issue, very much appreciated!

While I'm familiar with nixpkgs, I'm not too familiar with how
configuration.nix(5) is generated. Doing a little research I found where it
seems the configuration.nix manpage is build: see
[https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/nixos/doc/manual/default.nix#L276-L294
nixos/doc/manual/default.nix:276ff].

The command in question uses `nixos-render-docs` a custom python project,
which can also be found in the nixpkgs repo under
[https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/tree/master/pkgs/by-name/ni/nixos-render-docs
pkgs/by-name/ni/nixos-render-docs].

 I don't have much time today to dig deeper into this, but am happy to do so
in the coming days if helpful to get this issue addressed more thoroughly
possibly even with change proposals to the NixOS side of things.
