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

Travis A. Everett 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

Bjørn Forsman b9567aa8b6 install script: don't abort when "nix-channel --update" fails
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.

Fixes issue #2650 ("installation without internet connection").

installer: allow opting in / out to the daemon installer
By passing --daemon or --no-daemon, the installer can be forced to
select one or the other installation options, despite what the
automatic detection can provide.

This commit can be backported to 2.0-maintenance because it explicitly
turns off the daemon installation for Linux under systemd.

 - adds profile.d support to the profile targets, which automatically

   /etc/profile.d
 - /bin/bash -> /usr/bin/env bash
 - document why each excluded shellcheck check is excluded
 - rename the multi-user to Daemon-based

Manav Rathi eec5409a69 installation: allow profile modification to be skipped (#1072)
The current behaviour modifies the first writeable file from amongst
.bash_profile, .bash_login and .profile.  So .bash_profile (if it is
writable) would be modified even if a user has already sourced nix.sh
in, say, .profile.

This commit introduces a new environment variable,
NIX_INSTALLER_NO_MODIFY_PROFILE.  If this is set during installation,
then the modifications are unconditionally skipped.

This is useful for users who have a manually curated set of dotfiles
that they are porting to a new machine. In such scenarios, nix.sh is
already sourced at a place where the user prefers.  Without this
change, the nix installer would insist on modifying .bash_profile if
it exists.

This commit also add documentations for both the current behaviour and
the new override.

Gabriel Gonzalez 3889415bf8 Fix ?? in Nix warning message
Nix sometimes outputs a warning message like this:

```
directory /nix does not exist; creating it by running ‘?? using sudo
```

... when it really meant to output something that looked like this:

```
directory /nix does not exist; creating it by running 'mkdir -m 0755 /nix && chown gabriel /nix' using sudo
```

The reason why is due to some bizarre behavior in Bash where it will translate anything of the form `$x’` to `??`, leading to the incorrect warning message.  I don't know what is the origin of this Bash behavior, but the easiest fix is to just use ASCII quotes instead of unicode quotes.
