pkgs/README: use headers for valid updateScript value types
...
Since each valid `updateScript` value type is explained in at least 1-2
sentence, it is much easier to read this part of the doc with markdown
headers based division. This also allows to list similarly the
`supportedFeatures` right after the attribute set value type.

termite: remove broken package with no live upstream
...
Also remove from enableAllTerminfo list.
Since vte: 0.82.3 → 0.84.0 custom patches applied to vte in termite are
broken. The package has been without upstream for 5 years for now.

pkgs/README.md: discourage overrideAttrs within Nixpkgs
...
This comes up quite a lot in review, and we've just had a close call
with a known vulnerable library version almost being reintroduced
without appropriate knownVulnerabilities markings in an override in
the expression for a leaf package. Let's take the first step towards
preventing that sort of thing happening again.

maintainers/scripts/update.nix: Run updateScript in development shell

Update scripts aren't always run in the development shell by default,
especially not in the regular automated updates.
The parent commit makes the update scripts depend on running in the
development shell, so let's make sure it's always done.

Motivation: Many package additions add unmaintained or otherwise problematic packages.
Many additions for browser forks, questionable encryption libraries or 10+ years unmaintained software exist.
These are frequently closed, but the expectations are not actually visibly documented.
