doc: De-emphasize nix-env without -A
...
The manual uses `nix-env -i` without `-A` prominently, teaching a bad practice to newcomers.

According to XDG Base Directory Specification,

docs: Correct fallback user config path
...
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.

Improve explanation of NIX_PATH prefix syntax

The previous wording seemed to imply that the "channel:" syntax would resolve to

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..).

Fix Haskell example
...
http://nixos.org redirects to https://nixos.org and apparently the HTTP library doesn't follow the redirect, so the output is empty.
When defining https in the request it crashes because the library doesn't seem to support https.
So this switches the example to a different http library.

nix-prefetch-url: Add --executable flag
...
pkgs.fetchurl supports an executable argument, which is especially nice
when downloading a large executable. This patch adds the same option to
nix-prefetch-url.
I have tested this to work on the simple case of prefetching a little
executable:
1. nix-prefetch-url --executable https://my/little/script
2. Paste the hash into a pkgs.fetchurl-based package, script-pkg.nix
3. Delete the output from the store to avoid any misidentified artifacts
4. Realise the package script-pkg.nix
5. Run the executable
I repeated the above while using --name, as well.
I suspect --executable would have no meaningful effect if combined with
--unpack, but I have not tried it.
