Sean Seefried 2ef8f0608c Add to glossary and clarify garbage collection
While trying to understand garbage collection it was not immediately
clear that only the runtime dependency closure of output paths
would be kept (instead of the build-time dependency closure).
This commit attempts to clarify this by expanding some of the
glossary definitions and extending the Garbage Collection
section.

Replace readline by linenoise
Using linenoise avoids a license compatibility issue (), is a lot
smaller and doesn't pull in ncurses.

Drop misleading ellipses
This portion of the quick start guide may lead to confusion for
newcomers to Nix.  This change clarifies the example to one that can be
copied in its entirety.
