WIP: Document the design of Nix
...
The current docs are all "how to do things" and no "what is Nix" or "why
are things the way they are".
I see lots of misconception on the wider internet, and I also think we
would benefit from a "living document" to answer some questions people
currently turn to the thesis for.
I think a new section of the manual can address all these issues.

fetchTree: Allow fetching plain files
...
Add a new `file` fetcher type, which will fetch a plain file over
http(s), or from the local file.
Because plain `http(s)://` or `file://` urls can already correspond to
`tarball` inputs (if the path ends-up with a know archive extension),
the URL parsing logic is a bit convuluted in that:
- {http,https,file}:// urls will be interpreted as either a tarball or a
file input, depending on the extensions of the path part (so
`https://foo.com/bar ` will be a `file` input and
`https://foo.com/bar.tar.gz ` as a `tarball` input)
- `file+{something}://` urls will be interpreted as `file` urls (with
the `file+` part removed)
- `tarball+{something}://` urls will be interpreted as `tarball` urls (with
the `tarball+` part removed)
