8d4b6766e2 Convert short nix options to long ones 
e.g. nix-env -e subversion => nix-env --uninstall subversion

The aim is to make the documentation less cryptic for newcomers and the
long options are more self-documenting.

The change was made with the following script:

<https://github.com/aschmolck/convert-short-nix-opts-to-long-ones>

and sanity checked visually.

ed016a5bb0 docs: Mention more files referenced by the installer 
`/etc/bash.bashrc` is backed up as `/etc/bash.bashrc.backup-before-nix`,
but since other changes might have been introduced in the meantime we can't
just tell the user to revert.

9b2a4a4729 move uninstall instructions to a separate page 
placed in a subsection of the binary install, the instructions are hard
to find. putting them in a separate page that is shown in the table of
contents should make it easier for users to find what they need when
they need it.

e53e5c38d4 Add a setting for configuring the SSL certificates file 
This provides a platform-independent way to configure the SSL
certificates file in the Nix daemon. Previously we provided
instructions for overriding the environment variable in launchd, but
that obviously doesn't work with systemd. Now we can just tell users
to add

  ssl-cert-file = /etc/ssl/my-certificate-bundle.crt

to their nix.conf.

763c1dfc2b Expand installation.md 
Changes the `quick-start.md` to recommend a multi-user install, since
single-user is not supported on MacOS and https://nixos.org/download.html
recommends multi-user.

Expands `installation.md` to reflect wording on https://nixos.org/download.html

649c9d9b4c doc: acknowledge post-rsync reality 
Before #5150 the copy-to-store phase of the install was idempotent,
but the recursive cp isn't. This is probably baiting a few people
into trying corrective installs that will fail.

doc: Add detailed uninstall section for macOS 
The multi-user installation on macOS, which is now the only option, has
gotten complicated enough that it discourages some users from checking
Nix out for fear of being left with a "dirty" system. Detailed
uninstallation instructions should make this less of an issue.
