Instruct the user to follow redirects when installing Nix.
...
Nix installation now requires following redirects using `curl -L`. This
is currently represented on the [Nix download page][] but not in the
manual. This change updates the manual to reflect this.
Using `curl` without the `-L` flag results in an empty body, making
installation a no-op.
[Nix download page]: https://nixos.org/download.html

Add to glossary and clarify garbage collection
...
While trying to understand garbage collection it was not immediately
clear that only the runtime dependency closure of output paths
would be kept (instead of the build-time dependency closure).
This commit attempts to clarify this by expanding some of the
glossary definitions and extending the Garbage Collection
section.

Replace readline by linenoise
...
Using linenoise avoids a license compatibility issue (#1356 ), is a lot
smaller and doesn't pull in ncurses.
