Qyriad 6f6e3c98ba docs: document the cursed file syntax for new CLI
This documents that all installables in the nix3 commands, in their
--file/-f form accept an extended syntax for the file argument,
which is the same as it is for nix-build and friends, some of which were
well known in their nix-build forms (e.g. `nix-build '<nixpkgs>' -A hello)
but are not well known in their nix3 forms (people rarely know that you
can `nix build -f '<nixpkgs>' firefox`).

Like the old CLI syntax, as documented in [1], file arguments also
accept https:// tarball URLs, `flake:` prefixed flakerefs, and the
cursed `channel:` prefixed hardened URLs.
