add NIX_USER_CONF_FILES
...
Motivation: maintain project-level configuration files.
Document the whole situation a bit better so that it corresponds to the
implementation, and add NIX_USER_CONF_FILES that allows overriding
which user files Nix will load during startup.

Remove $NIX_BUILD_HOOK and $NIX_CURRENT_LOAD
...
This is to simplify remote build configuration. These environment
variables predate nix.conf.
The build hook now has a sensible default (namely build-remote).
The current load is kept in the Nix state directory now.

Remove $NIX_DB_DIR
...
This variable has no reason to exist, given $NIX_STATE_DIR.
