Explain how Nix handles antiquotation of paths
...
Specifically, explain why Nix does not _re_evaluate paths during a
`nix repl` session. This is a thing that bit me while playing around
with paths and antiquotation in `nix repl` while reading the Nix
language tutorial at https://nix.dev/tutorials/nix-language .

address review feedback
...
Mainly:
- Try to triangulate between narrative that framed this as
a new/easy process and the need for a reference that will
not quickly grow stale.
- Fix a ~continuity issue where the text was talking about
"your Cachix cache" before saying that you'd need to make
a Cachix cache to enable the installer tests.
- Adopt suggestion on titling, and nest subtitles in the
installer test section.
