doc/manual: define {local,remote} store, binary cache, substituter
...
Nix veterans intuitively know what the following terms mean. They are
used in several places in the nix documentation, but never defined:
- local store
- remote store
- binary cache
- substituter
In particular, I found the last two terms to be confusingly similar.
Let's give definitions for them.
