In addition:
- Take the opportunity to add a bunch more missing hyperlinks, too.
- Remove some glossary entries that are now subsumed by dedicated pages.
We used to not be able to do this without breaking link fragments, but
now we can, so pick up where we left off.

Now what we have enough primops, we can document how string contexts
work.

Different parts of the project honor different sets of proxy environment
variables. With this commit all parts of the project will honor the same
set of proxy environment variables.

When trying the „nix-store info“ commands on this page I received the error "error: 'info' is not a recognised command". According to https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/9349 info seems to have been an alias for ping. So why not just replace info with ping?
* move single-user uninstall to the end
this is not the default method of installation, and therefore irrelevant
for most users.
* move the backup restore instructions to the first step
for most users we can expect that the system-wide shell init files were
not ever touched, so we can as well tell them to do the most likely
thing.
from experience, while it's not necessarily safe to just mess with these
files, most people are simply confused by the complexity of
instructions.
* provide more detailed instructions for using `sudo vifs`
we can expect most beginners not to ever have used `vi`, and they will
probably need some hand-holding.
* express instructions as a script

I've added the new local.mk to the package sources. While this
should not be needed for the build, it is the simplest solution,
and won't cause many extra rebuilds, because the file won't change
very often.
Now that we have a few things identifying content address methods by
name, we should be consistent about it.
Move up the `parseHashAlgoOpt` for tidiness too.
Discussed this change for consistency's sake as part of #8876

This requires `--substitute-on-destination` if you want the remote side
to substitute instead of copying if possible.
For completeness sake, document it here.
Also, the stable Nix from nixpkgs is still 2.18, so more folks may
stumble upon this when this is bumped, so I'd expect this to be actually
useful.
Closes#10182
* show Nix logo in the manual
the location of files is hard-coded by mdBook.
there is also seems to be no way to define custom templates, therefore
all styling has to be done in the CSS override.
