Matthew Bauer d4e51aac08 Make preexisting Nix install a warning, not a failure
In the multi-user install script, we originally made sure no previous
references to Nix existed. This prevented any previous installs from
contaminating the new install. However, some users need the ability to
repair their existing Nix installation without uninstalling all
references to Nix. This change allows users with existing Nix
installations to use the installer, while still outputing a warning
message on the dangers of this. As a result, the multi-user install
script work much more like the single-user install script has worked
in the past.

This is a requirement for macOS Catalina users now that
/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.nixos.nix-daemon.plisg is not managed by
the Nix store. If there is ever a change to the .plist, all users will
need to rerun this install script to get the new changes. Otherwise,
changes to the launch daemon will require manual interventions.

Nix, the purely functional package manager

Nix is a new take on package management that is fairly unique. Because of its purity aspects, a lot of issues found in traditional package managers don't appear with Nix.

To find out more about the tool, usage and installation instructions, please read the manual, which is available on the Nix website at http://nixos.org/nix/manual.
