reword documentation on nix-path config option (#7772)
* docs: unify documentation on search paths

- put all the information on search path semantics into `builtins.findFile`
- put all the information on determining the value of `builtins.nixPath` into the
  `nix-path` setting

  maybe `builtins.nixPath` is a better place for this, but those bits
  can still be moved around now that it's all next to each other.
- link to the syntax page for lookup paths from all places that are
  concerned with it
- add or clarify examples
- add a test verifying a claim from documentation

This is good for shebang, and also good for future build system

68c81c7375 Put functional tests in tests/functional
I think it is bad for these reasons when `tests/` contains a mix of
functional and integration tests

 - Concepts is harder to understand, the documentation makes a good
   unit vs functional vs integration distinction, but when the
   integration tests are just two subdirs within `tests/` this is not
   clear.

 - Source filtering in the `flake.nix` is more complex. We need to
   filter out some of the dirs from `tests/`, rather than simply pick
   the dirs we want and take all of them. This is a good sign the
   structure of what we are trying to do is not matching the structure
   of the files.

With this change we have a clean:
```shell-session
$ git show 'HEAD:tests'
tree HEAD:tests

functional/
installer/
nixos/
```
