fix: nix shell multiple commands example (#8950)
The `-c` flag belongs to `sh` not `nix shell`. As it stands, the command errors with:

```
$ nix shell nixpkgs#gnumake --command sh --command "cd src && make"
sh: --command: invalid option
```

https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/8276 was good for readability, but it missed this since that PR used a find/replace script.

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

c3f9344cae Fix typo in src/nix/shell.md
Changed `If not command` to `If no command`, also specified that the
default shell launched in `nix shell` can be specified with `$SHELL`.
