doc/manual: define {local,remote} store, binary cache, substituter
...
Nix veterans intuitively know what the following terms mean. They are
used in several places in the nix documentation, but never defined:
- local store
- remote store
- binary cache
- substituter
In particular, I found the last two terms to be confusingly similar.
Let's give definitions for them.

reword notes on copying

clarify that we are copying between different stores. we have not
introduced that notion or why it would be interesting, but for now it
should be fine to keep it in context of the store directory.
we could move that later to a more detailed explanation of different
store types.
