streamline macOS uninstall instructions ( #10589 )
...
* 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.

doc/rl-2.20: add missing entry about nix copy --to ssh-ng://...
...
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

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.
