Alexandre Thomas 49e058f1cf Fix Nix installation on older versions of fish
The `fish_add_path` function is only available for fish 3.2.0 or newer,
and not on older versions.
This commit adds an alternative way to update the PATH when
`fish_add_path` does not exist.

Stel Abrego 34e3fa3a4a Fix fish shell MANPATH creation
Previously the MANPATH was set even if MANPATH was empty beforehand
which resulted in a MANPATH of only ~/.nix-profile/share/man which
omitted the default man page directory (commonly /opt/local/share/man)
from man page results.

Ana Hobden 8ebdbeb257 Add fish suport to installer
Before this patch, installing Nix using the Fish shell did not
work because Fish wasn't configured to add Nix to the PATH. Some
options in  offered workarounds, but they typically involve
extra plugins or packages.

This patch adds native, out-of-the-box support for the Fish shell.

Note that Fish supports a `conf.d` directory, which is intended
for exactly use cases like this: software projects distributing
shell snippets. This patch takes advantage of it. The installer
doesn't append any Nix loader behavior to any Fish config file.
Because of that, the uninstall process is smooth and a reinstall
obliterates the existing nix.fish files that we place instead of
bothering the user with a backup / manual removal.

Both single-user and multi-user cases are covered. It has been
tested on Ubuntu, and a Mac with MacPorts, homebrew, and the
Fish installer pkg.
