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

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.

manual: mention the "channel:" shorthand for NIX_PATH
Bumped to 15.09 because older channels, when downloaded from
nixos.org, require firefox to be accessed via `pkgs.firefox`

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.

Eelco Dolstra 2fad86f361 Remove $NIX_DB_DIR
