Part of #7672
My main motivation is to be able to use `nix.checkConfig`[1]. This
doesn't work with Lix currently since the module uses `nix show-config`
if the Nix version is <2.20pre and `nix config show` otherwise. I think
this is the only instance where nixpkgs checks for which Nix commands
exist that affects us now, so I figured we could just perform the rename
here as well[2] and still provide the current version number[3].
I don't have a strong opinion on whether to deprecate `nix show-config`,
the warning is added there automatically.

[2] I should add that I don't use the "official" ways of installing Lix
because using the flake directly and callPackaging it seemed to fit
better into my workflow: I already have a little mess to make
sure Hydra from the flake uses the correct pkgs.nix and I didn't
want to complicate it further while keeping a single package-set I
can build in CI. Don't get me wrong, I think such a module for a
quick-start is very important, just giving context on why I bother
in the first place :)
[3] When we go public, I think it's worth considering to add support in
nixpkgs itself for Lix.
