Joachim Breitner e2af11ce07 Manpages: Do not refer to nixpkgs-channels
Unless I am misinformed, using the `nixpkgs` repository directly is now
preferred?

focus on golden-path covering most scenarios
This should handle installation scenarios we can handle with
anything resembling confidence. Goal is approximating the existing
setup--not enforcing a best-practice...

Approaches (+ installer-handled, - manual) and configs each covers:

+ no change needed; /nix OK on boot volume:
  All pre-Catalina (regardless of T2 or FileVault use)

+ create new unencrypted volume:
  Catalina, pre-T2, no FileVault

+ create new encrypted-at-rest volume:
  Catalina, pre-T2, FileVault
  Catalina, T2, no FileVault

- require user to pre-create encrypted volume
  Catalina, T2, FileVault

Remove -j option from simple-build-testing
By default Nix/NixOS already set a reasonable default `max-jobs = auto`
so we don't need to mention it in this tutorial.
The option is still documented in other parts of the documentation
if users ever stumble over this.

Update "Upgrading Nix" documentation
This PR proposes two changes to the "Upgrading Nix" documentation:

* Besides updating `nixpkgs.nix`, we also update `nixpkgs.cacert`, so that the certificates are up-to-date as well.
* Add the instructions for multi-user mode on Linux.

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.

Greg Price e40e01c1dd doc: Files in the store have modes 444/555, not 644/755
This line has been this way since it was written, in 9e08f5efe
in 2006.

I think it was just a small mistake then; Eelco's thesis earlier
that year says the permission on each file is set to 0444 or 0555
in a derivation's output as part of the build process.  In any
case I'm pretty sure that's the behavior now.

jakobrs c5a488afc0 Remove the --delete option for --gc
Running `nix-store --gc --delete` will, as of Nix 2.3.3, simply fail
because the --delete option conflicts with the --delete operation.

  $ nix-store --gc --delete
  error: only one operation may be specified
  Try 'nix-store --help' for more information.

Furthermore, it has been broken since at least Nix 0.16 (which was
released sometime in 2010), which means that any scripts which depend
on it should have been broken at least nine years ago. This commit
simply formally removes the option. There should be no actual difference
in behaviour as far as the user is concerned: it errors with the exact
same error message. The manual has been edited to remove any references
to the (now gone) --delete option.

Other information:
* Path for Nix 0.16 used:
  /nix/store/rp3sgmskn0p0pj1ia2qwd5al6f6pinz4-nix-0.16

style.css: Remove
This file is licensed under the GPL. Originally, Nix was also
GPL-licensed so that was fine. However, we later changed the license
to the LGPL but missed the fact that style.css has an incompatible
license.

Since the Nix manual at nixos.org uses its own styling, we can remove
this file.

Benjamin Hipple 762febafe2 doc: mention how to turn on pure evaluation mode in manual
The flag is `--pure-eval`, which can be found by looking at the test suite; it
should be in the notes describing the feature as well, since otherwise users may
assume this is referencing something like `nix-shell --pure`.

Benjamin Hipple 5d24e18e29 doc: touchup release notes for 2.3
- At the top of the release notes, we announce sandboxing is now enabled by default,
then at the bottom it says it's now disabled when missing kernel support. These
can be merged into one point for clarity.

- The point about `max-jobs` defaulting to 1 appears unrelated to sandboxing.

Remove superfluous IAM action for S3 cache
`s3:ListObjects` isn't a real IAM action, but _is_ the name of an S3 API method. `s3:ListBucket` is the relevant action for that method.
