A setting to follow XDG Base Directory standard
XDG Base Directory is a standard for locations for storing various
files. Nix has a few files which seem to fit in the standard, but
currently use a custom location directly in the user's ~, polluting
it:

- ~/.nix-profile
- ~/.nix-defexpr
- ~/.nix-channels

This commit adds a config option (use-xdg-base-directories) to follow
the XDG spec and instead use the following locations:

- $XDG_STATE_HOME/nix/profile
- $XDG_STATE_HOME/nix/defexpr
- $XDG_STATE_HOME/nix/channels

If $XDG_STATE_HOME is not set, it is assumed to be ~/.local/state.

8ebdbeb257 Add fish suport to installer
Before this patch, installing Nix using the Fish shell did not
work because Fish wasn't configured to add Nix to the PATH. Some
options in  offered workarounds, but they typically involve
extra plugins or packages.

This patch adds native, out-of-the-box support for the Fish shell.

Note that Fish supports a `conf.d` directory, which is intended
for exactly use cases like this: software projects distributing
shell snippets. This patch takes advantage of it. The installer
doesn't append any Nix loader behavior to any Fish config file.
Because of that, the uninstall process is smooth and a reinstall
obliterates the existing nix.fish files that we place instead of
bothering the user with a backup / manual removal.

Both single-user and multi-user cases are covered. It has been
tested on Ubuntu, and a Mac with MacPorts, homebrew, and the
Fish installer pkg.

447350fe0e installer: Do not use echo -e in #!/bin/sh script
ShellCheck correctly warns:

In scripts/install-nix-from-closure.sh line 218:
                echo -e "\nif [ -e $p ]; then . $p; fi # added by Nix installer" >> "$fn"
                     ^-- SC3037: In POSIX sh, echo flags are undefined.

In scripts/install-nix-from-closure.sh line 229:
                echo -e "\nif [ -e $p ]; then . $p; fi # added by Nix installer" >> "$fn"
                     ^-- SC3037: In POSIX sh, echo flags are undefined.

Indeed, this actually breaks on Ubuntu where /bin/sh is dash.

scripts/install-nix-from-closure: only show progress if a terminal is used
While the progress dots during the copying of the store work fine on a
normal terminal, those look pretty off if the script is run inside a
provisioning script of e.g. `vagrant` or `packer` where `stderr` and
`stdout` are captured:

    default: .
    default: ..
    default: .
    default: .
    default: .

To work around this, the script checks with `-t 0` if it's
running on an actual terminal and doesn't show the progress if that's not
the case.

installer: simplify the per-build installation
The goal is to allow the installation and testing of arbitrary Nix
versions. Extend the base installer to accept a `--tarball-url-prefix
<url>` to change where the Nix tarball is getting downloaded from.

Once this is merged it should allow to:
1. Pick an evaluation at https://hydra.nixos.org/jobset/nix/master that
   looks healthy
2. Select the installedScript build and find the store path.

Now equipped with all of this, use an instance of nar-serve to fetch the
install script and release tarballs:

    curl -sfL https://nar-serve.numtide.com/nix/store/rkv4yh7pym941bhj0849zqdkg2546bdv-installer-script/install \
      | sh --tarball-url-prefix https://nar-serve.numtide.com/nix/store

Or with cachix, strip the /nix/store and derivation name and then:

    curl -sfL https://mycache.cachix.org/serve/rkv4yh7pym941bhj0849zqdkg2546bdv/install \
      | sh --tarball-url-prefix https://mycache.cachix.org/serve

1f02b65c59 fix xpath and conditional bugs; xpath -> xmllint
- xpath -> xmllint: xpath's cli interface changed in Big Sur
  rather than add conditional logic for picking the correct
  syntax for xpath, I'm changing to xmllint --xpath, which
  appears to be consistent across versions I've tested...

- /plist/dict/key[text()='Writable']/following-sibling::true[1]
  doesn't do quite what's expected. It was written to try to
  select a <true /> node paired with the Writable key, but it
  will also select the *next* <true /> node that appears even
  if it was paired with another key.

- I think there's also a logic bug in the conditionals here.
  I'm not sure anyone ever actuall saw it, thanks to the xpath
  bug, though. With the xpath fix, this conditional passes if /nix
  does not exist, / IS writable, and the version is Catalina+.

  I think it meant to test for /nix does not exist, / is NOT
  writable, and the version is Catalina+. I reworked this lightly
  to make it a little clearer at the code level.

focus on golden-path covering most scenarios
This should handle installation scenarios we can handle with
anything resembling confidence. Goal is approximating the existing
setup--not enforcing a best-practice...

Approaches (+ installer-handled, - manual) and configs each covers:

+ no change needed; /nix OK on boot volume:
  All pre-Catalina (regardless of T2 or FileVault use)

+ create new unencrypted volume:
  Catalina, pre-T2, no FileVault

+ create new encrypted-at-rest volume:
  Catalina, pre-T2, FileVault
  Catalina, T2, no FileVault

- require user to pre-create encrypted volume
  Catalina, T2, FileVault

Instead, print a message about what happened and tell the user what can
be done (run "[sudo -i] nix-channel --update nixpkgs" again at a later
time). This change allows installing Nix when you're offline.

Since the multi-user installer is so verbose, the message isn't printed
until the end.
