raito b8cb7abcf0 chore: rebrand Nix to Lix when it makes sense
Here's my guide so far:

$ rg '((?!(recursive).*) Nix
(?!(daemon|store|expression|Rocks!|Packages|language|derivation|archive|account|user|sandbox|flake).*))'
-g '!doc/' --pcre2

All items from this query have been tackled. For the documentation side:
that's for lix-project/lix#162.

Additionally, all remaining references to github.com/NixOS/nix which
were not relevant were also replaced.

Fixes: lix-project/lix#148.
Fixes: lix-project/lix#162.

Qyriad 194ba8a02f docs: guide to installables docs in installable commands' docs
The installables syntax is not documented in any of the man pages or
docbook pages for any of those individual commands. And while these
commands really should at least peripherally individually document how
installables work, in the meantime we can at least direct people to the
right place.

This commit also clarifies the unexpected fact that `nix profile remove`
and `nix profile upgrade` do *not* take installables.

Valentin Gagarin 2af9fd20c6 clarify definition of "installable"
the term was hard to discover, as its definition and explanation were in
a very long document lacking an overview section.
search did not help because it occurs so often.

- clarify wording in the definition
- add an overview of installable types
- add "installable" to glossary
- link to definition from occurrences of the term
- be more precise about where store derivation outputs are processed
- installable Nix expressions must evaluate to a derivation
