Danylo Hlynskyi ac22d77fd1 nix-collect-garbage: little doc fix
This removes confusing documentation. It's better to remove doc than add implementation, because Nix 1.12 will surely have new GC interface anyway.

Sean Seefried 2ef8f0608c Add to glossary and clarify garbage collection
While trying to understand garbage collection it was not immediately
clear that only the runtime dependency closure of output paths
would be kept (instead of the build-time dependency closure).
This commit attempts to clarify this by expanding some of the
glossary definitions and extending the Garbage Collection
section.

Enable sandbox builds on Linux by default
The overhead of sandbox builds is a problem on NixOS (since building a
NixOS configuration involves a lot of small derivations) but not for
typical non-NixOS use cases. So outside of NixOS we can enable it.

Issue #179.

Manual: Update chapter on remote builds

can connect to a remote builder (e.g. 'nix ping-store --store
ssh://mac').
