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.

Nix, the purely functional package manager

Nix is a new take on package management that is fairly unique. Because of it's purity aspects, a lot of issues found in traditional package managers don't appear with Nix.

To find out more about the tool, usage and installation instructions, please read the manual, which is available on the Nix website at http://nixos.org/nix/manual.
