...
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=$PWD/__i__ V=1
RUST_LOG=warn mdbook build doc/manual -d /usr/share/doc/nix/manual
2021-08-28 13:29:58 [ERROR] (mdbook::utils): Error: Rendering failed
2021-08-28 13:29:58 [ERROR] (mdbook::utils): Caused By: Unexpected error when constructing destination path
2021-08-28 13:29:58 [ERROR] (mdbook::utils): Caused By: Permission denied (os error 13)
make: *** [doc/manual/local.mk:98: /usr/share/doc/nix/manual/index.html] Error 101
```
The change is to prefix paths with `$(DESTDIR)`.

Fix the generation of nix3 manpages
...
- Separate the generation of the manpages from their installation
- Make sure that `make` generates the manpages
- Make sure that `make install` installs them

Cleanup the generation of the nix3 manpages
...
Use a dedicated make target for the man page rather than bundling the
generation as part of `install`.
Also make sure that `make install` is a fixpoint by
- Removing the generated markdown files from `MANUAL_SRCS`
- Not having the manpage generation write in its source directory so as
to not update its timestamp (it would run each time otherwise)

This looks a lot better (and is also more semantically meaningful).
Since this list is generated in a Nix expression, I don't think using
HTML here is going to be the thing that puts people off modifying this
part of the documentation!

Replace the trailing markdown spaces by a backslash
...
They are equivalent according to
<https://spec.commonmark.org/0.29/#hard-line-breaks >,
and the trailing spaces tend to be a pain (because the make git
complain, editors tend to want to remove them − the `.editorconfig`
actually specifies that − etc..).
