The installables syntax is not documented in any of the man pages or
docbook pages for any of those individual commands. And while these
commands really should at least peripherally individually document how
installables work, in the meantime we can at least direct people to the
right place.
This commit also clarifies the unexpected fact that `nix profile remove`
and `nix profile upgrade` do *not* take installables.

Note: this command's interface is based heavily around installables, which you may want to read about first (nix --help).
Description
This command reads from standard input a JSON representation of a store derivation to which an installable evaluates.
Store derivations are used internally by Nix. They are store paths with
extension .drv that represent the build-time dependency graph to which
a Nix expression evaluates.
The JSON format is documented under the derivation show command.
