reproducibility: hide non-reproducible settings from manual
...
Because the manual is generated from default values which are themselves
generated from various sources (cpuid, bios settings (kvm), number of
cores). This commit hides non-reproducible settings from the manual
output.

This is in line with XDG Base Directory Specification, where ~/.config is supposed to be used when XDG_CONFIG_HOME is unset.
It also better matches the reality, where ~/.config/nix.conf does not seem to be used.

doc/manual/local.mk: fix 'make install DESTDIR=...'

Install failure is observed when we try to install
into inplace location as non-root:
```
$ LANG=C make install DESTDIR=$PWD/__i__ V=1

2021-08-28 13:29:58 [ERROR] (mdbook::utils): Error: Rendering failed

make: *** [doc/manual/local.mk:98: /usr/share/doc/nix/manual/index.html] Error 101
```
The change is to prefix paths with `$(DESTDIR)`.
