Adam Joseph a5be5e0120 doc/manual: define {local,remote} store, binary cache, substituter 
Nix veterans intuitively know what the following terms mean.  They are
used in several places in the nix documentation, but never defined:

- local store
- remote store
- binary cache
- substituter

In particular, I found the last two terms to be confusingly similar.
Let's give definitions for them.

Valentin Gagarin a28d6878b2 concept map: put closure as it is in the chapter 
this is not as compact any more, but it more closely resembles the
chapter structure, and clearly shows that the closure property is the
key idea on which most of Nix operates.

Valentin Gagarin 631ca18ee6 reword notes on copying 
clarify that we are copying between different stores. we have not
introduced that notion or why it would be interesting, but for now it
should be fine to keep it in context of the store directory.

we could move that later to a more detailed explanation of different
store types.
