Valentin Gagarin 0eae4bfad1 reword overview with clear terminology 
trying to capture alternative terms in one go here, mirroring everyday
use:

derivation - build plan
realise - execute build

there will be more of that sort.

John Ericson 0737094161 Add draft "Rosetta stone" by @fricklerhandwerk and stub commentary 
The idea and most of the execution are @fricklerhandwerk's. I changed a
few things best I could based on @edolstra's corrections, and a Bazel
glossary.

John Ericson 523359d133 WIP: Document the design of Nix 
The current docs are all "how to do things" and no "what is Nix" or "why
are things the way they are".

I see lots of misconception on the wider internet, and I also think we
would benefit from a "living document" to answer some questions people
currently turn to the thesis for.

I think a new section of the manual can address all these issues.
