John Ericson 0737094161 Add draft "Rosetta stone" by @fricklerhandwerk and stub commentary 
The idea and most of the execution are @fricklerhandwerk's. I changed a
few things best I could based on @edolstra's corrections, and a Bazel
glossary.

John Ericson 523359d133 WIP: Document the design of Nix 
The current docs are all "how to do things" and no "what is Nix" or "why
are things the way they are".

I see lots of misconception on the wider internet, and I also think we
would benefit from a "living document" to answer some questions people
currently turn to the thesis for.

I think a new section of the manual can address all these issues.

Valentin Gagarin 499ed26508 manual: remove "Writing Nix Expressions" chapter 
it is out of date, all over the place in level of detail, is really
about `nixpkgs`, and in general instructions should not be part of
a reference manual.

also:
- update redirects and internal links
- use "Nix language" consistently

Fix link to hacking doc 
Right now,
https://hydra.nixos.org/job/nix/master/build.x86_64-linux/latest/download-by-type/doc/manual/contributing/hacking.html
redirects to
https://hydra.nixos.org/build/183877779/download/1/manual/contributing/hacking.html,
which gives me a "500 Internal Server Error". Not super useful =(

Feel free to ignore if someone's working to fix the 500 I was running
into.
