nixos/doc/rl, doc/rl: announce nixexprs.tar.xz discontinuation

Browse Source 
We need to allow some time for users to migrate between the tarballs and
can reasonably link that to the 26.11 EOL one year from now.

Until then our channel and tarball jobs will be twice as big.

(cherry picked from commit 6026336a39)

- The {file}`nixexprs.tar.xz` tarball will be discontinued together with Nixpkgs
27.05 after 2027-12-31. Migrate to the {file}`nixexprs.tar.zst` tarball
instead.
This affects for example users who pull Nixpkgs as a flake input from
