concept map: put closure as it is in the chapter

this is not as compact any more, but it more closely resembles the
chapter structure, and clearly shows that the closure property is the
key idea on which most of Nix operates.

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.
