* Document manual migration for use-xdg-base-directories

option, add instructions for manual migration to the option's
description.

If you already have Nix installed and are using [profiles](@docroot@/package-management/profiles.md) or [channels](@docroot@/package-management/channels.md), you should migrate manually when you enable this option.
If `$XDG_STATE_HOME` is not set, use `$HOME/.local/state/nix` instead of `$XDG_STATE_HOME/nix`.
This can be achieved with the following shell commands:
```sh
nix_state_home=${XDG_STATE_HOME-$HOME/.local/state}/nix
mkdir -p $nix_state_home
mv $HOME/.nix-profile $nix_state_home/profile
mv $HOME/.nix-defexpr $nix_state_home/defexpr
mv $HOME/.nix-channels $nix_state_home/channels
```
)"
