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

Add --exclude flag to nix search
If a package's attribute path, description or name contains matches for any of the
regexes specified via `-e` or `--exclude` that package is excluded from
the final output.
